stressing about tomorrow

 starting to get nervous- no clue why, I have been through this test 2 or 3 times already, but for some reason I'm anxious about it tonight.  I don't think I'm nervous about the upper GI itself, but the results of it.  I'm hoping for answers and REALLY hoping to end this constant throwing up.  Weird why possibly getting answers is worrying me, guess I'm just that frazzled

ok- done my whining now- back to your regularly scheduled board

 It was a longer test than even the initial upper gi, though I did not have to drink the fizzy stuff, just the chalky one (2 glasses of it- lucky me!).  I see Dr Roye for my results tomorrow, but I really don't think they found anything.  I think Dr Roye thinks I may be too tight (which is odd since I went from nothing to this).  I think there is got to be something else going on because I am only tight at dinner, no other time during the day.  Lately it has gotten so bad that my eyes are all bruised around them from so much vomiting.  All I want at this point is to figure out what is going on and make it stop

Could it be fluid retention or gas situation?   If it happens toward dinnertime, it has to be something that your body goes through by that time of the day.  I am by no means an expert, i am just running the sqeaky wheels in my head. 

Good Luck Alexia

 I know I forgot to give Dr Roye the info of when it happens, which is on my little notepad for tomorrow.  Thanks for your concern guys!  I will keep you updated

 had my follow up today and as I thought- the upper gi showed nothing.  Dr Roye has decided he is going to take some fluid out of my band.  This means yet ANOTHER visit because the port has moved and fills have to be done under fluoro.  Annette called to schedule this when I was there this morning and had to leave a message.  She told me she would call when it was scheduled and go from there.  All day I sat by the phone waiting.  Finally at 3:30 I called and got attitude and didn't I hear that she would call me?!?!  
I'm aggravated, frustrated and just generally down about this.  I have lost another 6 pounds, but bulimia was not really the way I wanted to lose this weight.  Another appointment that was a wait and see what happens
