I would drink some clear soup to keep yourself going and stop your tummy rumbling. have you tried any tinned soups seived? Baxters pea and ham and french onion are very nice seived. Im sure you will be able to drink them. Keep your chin up. R x

hi ollie, it sounds like your band is way 2 tight, i would reccommend a defill as dehydration can take hold very quickly, this happened to me once and i didnt get it seen to and i had to go in for an emergency de fill and be rehydrated by dripp, try to keep sipping the water as at this point water is more important than food, if this doesant improve soon ring your band providor, i hope you feel better soon.

I totally agree, you cannot sustain like that and need to have a defill.

See how it goes for next 12-24 hours and then get yourself some help - otherwise you will get ill.

ollie i recommend that you definatley go for a de fill, as it will make you ill in the long run and they may even keep you in a few days to rehydrate you, please get it sorted soon b4 its too late, the longer you leave this the worse it will get and you could damage the band through wretching so much when vomiting.

Hiya Ollie
Did you go NHS or private?
If private- where you offered any aftercare, if there an emergancy number you can phone?
If NHS I would phone NHS direct and ask for some advice - phone 08454647 .
You might need to have a de-fill like cazbandy and liz have suggested
Good luck and let us know how you get on!!

ok ollie thats good !! i just know what its like as i experienced myself and the dehyration took me b4 i realised what was happening, i dont mean to frighten you or any thing like that but it is serious as the pouch swelling/irritation can close the hole down quicker than ppl think. keep sipping the water dont gulp it.

Upgrade? what do you want to do? this website is free, you have to do about 20 or 50 posts before you can really do anything.
hope this helps,
