Mission: Abort!

I am sorry to report that 6 ml is too tight on my German band. As I tried to eat some prawns with courgettes, they got stuck and I had my first proper series of vomiting. It was horrible. Not only did I throw up the food I had just eaten (3 prawns and half a courgette which looked more bulky than on the plate for some reason) but a lot of clear mucus, too. Disgusting! I am only telling you so you don't go experimenting with your body - just take my word for it.

I rang my surgeon and he was distressed to hear the news. He wanted to send me to the hospital to have it opened but I assured him that I could drink water/liquids (obviously there is always the risk of dehydration). He asked me to go there tomorrow morning to have 0.5 ml drained. He believes that that will be enough to find the golden mean.

Other than my stomach feeling heavy (like I have swallowed a tree stump) and my left temple aching, I am alright. I spent a lot of hours in bed today, reading. I did not feel like doing anything really.
