Too much fill!!!!!

I went in for my 3rd fill 2 weeks ago and he put 1cc in a 12cc band. I drank some water before I left and it gurgled just a little and the nurse asked if I felt ok and I said I guess so, and I left. I went home and tried to have a cup of soup and it wouldnt go down. nothing would go down. the doctor was going to be out of town until after thanksgiving and the nurse said as long as I could drink, I would be ok until he returned. well, after vomiting over 50 times that week, I started seeing blood, so I went to the emergency room, I was dehydrated and had to have an iv and after lots of research(about 2 hours) the er doc decided to try to give me an unfill. 20 pokes later he gave up and the nurse finally found the port and took out 1cc. instant relief. I have another fill scheduled for 12-22 and believe me when I say, i'm not walking out that door unless i'm positive everything is working the way it should. I wouldnt wish that kind of misery on anyone!!!!!

Oh my goodness. I am so glad you are doing better. That must have been horrible. Hope everything goes better with next fill. I just got my first fill 12-1 after my first 6 weeks post op. I have 3cc in a 10cc band. My doc waits 6 weeks between fills, I'm not scheduled for my 2nd fill until 1-19. Good luck to you!
