4th fill and too tight?



Recommended Posts

I got my 4th fill on Thursday and everything seemed okay. All liquds went down fine. I wake up Saturday morning and I have a small drink of Water and it gets stuck and since than it has been hell for me. Everything is getting stuck. It goes down after alittle while buy until it does i am in alot of pain. Will it losen up if i go on a all liquid diet for a couple of days or do i go for a unfill which wouldn't be for another 3 days. any help would be appriciated.

You may just be swollen from the fill. If you can't get Water down you need to go in asap for a slight unfill. If you can keep water down You might try a liqued diet for a couple of days and see if it gets better. If it doesn't you will need to go in because being too tight can cause a slip if you let it go on too long. My last fill I was too tight but I could get water down. After a few days of liqueds it loosened up. I'm still pretty tight but can eat 1/2 cup to a cup of food.< /p>

...what she said... I had the exact same thing happen at my last fill. Definitely do liquids for a few days and see how things are. I thought I was too tight. I could barely get down liquids. I called for an appt, but my doc was out of town for 3 days. I didn't want someone else, so I decided to wait. I ended up cancelling the appointment 3 days later when the swelling went down.

Take *small* sips of Water. If you can't get it down, then call your doctor right away. Dehydration can kill you.

If you can keep the Water down with small sips, I'd give it a bit. You may just have temporary swelling from the fill.

If you can't get liquid down you need to go back to your doc immediately.

Donna, are you doing better today? My last fill made me very tight and has stayed tight since September, but I have always been able to get liquids down. If you can't get the liquids in today you should see if they can squeeze you in for at least a tiny unfill tomorrow because it is an emergency at that point. hope you are doing better soon.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
