Terrified!!
Happy Wednesday. I have a few questions, resulting from a strange vomiting/swelling episode. I am away on vacation, so I can't get to the dr. very easily, which is why I am relying on all you experts!!!
1. I tried to eat a scrambled egg this morning. It was somewhat dry and got stuck. I have eaten eggs for four months now with no problems. However, my hubby and I had a few beverages last night. I was not hungover in the slightest, but is it possible that I was dehydrated and that tightened the band?
2. The "stuck" resulted in my vomiting. I would say that I "chose" to vomit; it wasn't spontaneous but CERTAINLY had to happen. I then drank water , tried to eat some of the egg(stupid, I now know, but this was my first bad experience, so i didn't know better), and vomited again. This second time was a pretty intense and totally spontaneous vomiting esisode. After that, I couldn't even get fluids down for a while. Was this a result of swelling??
3. I called my dr., who said that I should do fluids for 48 hours; he think that I am swollen from vomiting. I am able to do about a half ounce of fluid every few minutes, and this has improved drastically throughout the day. I have frequent pb's, which lead to relief, and lots of gurgline, but the fluid eventually goes down. Is there anything I can do to alleviate the swelling (I hope this is just swelling.)? And, I don't think this is a slip, but could I be wrong???
This whole event has made me panic. Please tell me this stuff happens and that I shouldn't yet panic!!! Well, tell me the truth, but I hope that is the truth! Thank you in advance for any help. Have a good day!

Not that I am an expert by any means..but I would have to say that I agree with your Dr. that you are swollen.
I have had a couple of issues like this myself. I think my issues have been from eating to fast or not chewing enough. Eggs are weird for me...sometimes I can eat them...other times NO Way. I find that Egg Beaters are usually a better choice for me as they go down easier (Why, I have no idea).
Just take it easy and you should be feeling better.
Enjoy your vacation!!

My mantra: Each day is an new opportunity to be happier, healthier and better than the day before. I will live each day with enthusiam and be thankful for the many blessings that surround me. I will do my best to pay it forward whenever possible. 
I too am not a Doctor, nor do I play one on television, but I agree with your Doctor. Let us know how you're doing.
FYI - this may sound like a strange question, but your vacation spot - is it in a elevation different than "home". Believe it or not, a drastic elevation change can affect the band. Remember your band is "encased in your stomach fluids" and outside "air" pressure can affect your tightness. I have know people who fly have problems because the air-pressure is tighter. Just a possibility.
