Camping after first fill?



Recommended Posts

I'm so excited to get my first fill next Tuesday. I can't wait. But, I'm concerned because I'm scheduled to go camping on Friday for the weekend - about 2 hours from my surgeon/hospital. I have a multi-part question:

1) Have you had issues a few days after your first fill - to the point where you needed to have some saline removed?

2) If you were me, would you go 2 hours away from your surgeon only 3 days after your first fill? (The concern is that my Dr. said if there is an issue - I would likely need to get back to the hospital that did the surgery as other hospitals will be hesitant to remove saline that they didn't insert.

I welcome your thoughts.

if it is your first fill i can't see where you would have any issues. actually for me i couldn't tell much difference after my first 3 fills. it takes a few fills to get to restriction.

were it me, i'd go and have a good time.

you will have to do what you feel good with.

No, the only time i ever decided to have fill removed, it was very much just because I thought I didnt need to be quite so tight, not because I couldnt eat. I could have simply waited for it to loosen up.

I always have tiny fills, but really, I wouldnt even hesitate to go away a few days after one. Perhaps just plan some mushy, easy to eat foods to have on hand. And dont have a really aggressive fill.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
