Second Fill

I received my 2nd fill on June 17th (2 CC). When I sipped the water after the fill, I felt a lump sensation in my throat - that should have been my first clue! The doc said he would take out some fluid, but I thought I was ok. I waited around for 1/2 hour and drank some ice tea and thought I was okay. I was able to eat okay for a few days and then DRAT! I ate a bite of pizza (too big) and it was downhill from here. The next AM I tried to eat breakfast...a couple bites of turkey bacon and some scrambled eggs - they came up. It is now June 29th and I am going to get some fluid taken out. The doc was out of town at a seminar. It has been a L-O-N-G week. I have used papaya pills, pineapple juice, meat tenderizer - to no avail. My stomach has been hurting in the middle of the night just about every night. This has not been fun! I am sick of soup! Cannot wait for today to be done and feel good again. On the plus side, I am loosing weight! Yeah! Not as much as you think for being on mostly liquids for a week.

Always remember you can get tiny fills...like .25ccs or .5's..you do not have to get 1 ccs and higher..and the same when you get the unfill..just a little taken out makes a huge difference!!! I wish you both the best!

I only had .5 cc's taken out, so let's cross our fingers! Just remember, when you drink the water after the doc fills you, if it feels funny at all (like your throat is heavy etc). take some out! I would have been okay had I not eaten that dang pizza! It would not have been so bad. Worse case you go on liquids until you can see the doc. He happened to be away for a week, so I had a tough week!
