Anybody else have this problem???

You said it... easier said than done.  He is as adult as any husband can get! LOL! Sorry don't mean to be insulting to men, but seriously... do I have to hold your hand for you to do everything!  You might be right that it would be better for the Dr to call the other Dr & let him know what is going on... Even if hubby cut his work trip short, our surgeon is moving & is no longer seeing patients after Tuesday or Wednesday... so I don't know that he would be back in time. The other bariatric surgeons in town are only taking his patients on a case by case basis.  FRUSTRATING!!!

As far as dehydration goes... he also works outdoors so I worry about him getting dehydrated also! He is in an un-air conditioned truck, and it is very hot outside.  He usually does okay getting liquids down. 

The thing that worries me the most is how quickly he has gotten worse... I don't know if it is a different enviroment or if it is allergies & the mucous is making things worse... I just don't know!

LOL! My husband is a Big Strong Man until he gets a cold or a mosquito bite!

We call it 'man flu' LOL

Just an update!!! DH finally called the surgeon & he recommended that my husband call a local Lap-band surgeon to take a little bit off his fill.  Hopefully he won't have to do too much to have this done... I told him if he needed to to call our surgeon back & have him call the local surgeon directly to speed the process up a bit! 

Thanks for all your help!

 Since he is having problems I would think it would be wise to have a complete unfill not a partial.  If things go well and there are no issues over the next several months then he can step up his restriction.  

Bear, you are looking great, that sleeve seems to agree with you, so glad!

I totally agree with the others and can tell you from experience the longer it goes on the worse it gets so I hope he marches his stubborn male, testosterone infested body directly to the nearest surgeon. And yes it is soooo a man thing!

There are several band doctors in the Birmingham area if he was to go to a local ER. I'm not familiar with the B'ham band docs since I'm north of B'ham.

I hope e gets relief soon!!

We share the same surgeon (for a little while). I hate it that he is leaving,but I know how strongley he feels about calling him if you even think something is not right. I just went on two week vacation and he made me go on the internet before I left to have a dr. found i n the area I would be. I am going to try DR. Blatchford in Ark. City. Good luck

You too Diane! I hate that he is leaving... he is such a great doctor! So are you from the Wichita area?
