I had a fill on the 24th of March. Since this fill I can not eat for a couple of hours in the morning. I am also having trouble eating more than a bite or two without feeling like it is stuck. I am eating the right things and chewing it very well but it seems like no matter what it is I struggle. Should I wait to see if it loosens up or should I get an unfill.

I was hungry all the time at 7.4 cc now I am at 7.9 and it is a drastic change. Probably eating only 1/2 cup of food three times a day and it takes a long time to get it down.

The fill is so fresh that, if you're able to get fluids down, I'd baby it for a week or so to see what happens. (If you're concerned though, check with your doctor to see what s/he thinks.)

I was filled on the 26th, and still am babying mine---my doctor's view is that, if you can get fluids down, it's a good indicator that within a few days to a week (or so), food will be tolerated.

For me, warm drinks help.

Are you hungry? If not and you are able to stay hydrated, I'd ride it out.

But if only being able to eat this little is leaving you hungry, I'd say you might want to get a small unfill.

HTH,

Amy

I'm with the above...as long as you can drink you'll be okay, if you're hungry and having difficulty not eating you may want a little unfill, but keep in mind things tend to loosen after a week or two. I'm 2 weeks out from fill #3 which has been kicking my butt...things have improved over the last 2 or 3 days and today is the first day I've had where I had no "stuck" feeling all day long....

Good luck!

      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.

        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!
