I can BARELY drink liquids after my 3rd fill, is this normal???



Recommended Posts

I just went to the Dr. yesterday and had my third fill to almost 8c.c. By the time I got to the car I was already vomiting up the spit I was unable to swallow. It has been done now for over 24 hours and I have only consumed about 12 ounces of Water. Is this normal or should I call the Dr??? Thanks!!!!:smile2:

TELL the Dr. ASAP. Don't do like I did a few days ago & end up dehydrated & in ER. I was instantly better when Dr. got out of surgery & UNfilled me just 1/2 cc. Doesn't sound like it makes that much difference...but in me, it did. Spent a most miserable 24 hrs, not wanting to bother the Dr. Not supposed to be uncomfortable...and in this heat wave we're in...can get dehydrated very quickly. Good Luck to U...and let us know what you end up doing. Dr. said it's called "pooling in your esophogus"...and will only get worse without intervention from him.

Call your doctor!

It may be as simple as removing .2 ccs to get you able to drink. I was extremely tight after my third fill and could no longer guzzle Water. Had I been unable to drink at all I would have called the doc immediately.

Has it gotten any easier since you posted this? As the swelling goes down, it should loosen up a little.

You are definitely too tight. You don`t want to suffer unnecessarily. I should know. Please go for unfill.

Thanks for the replies, I actually ended up going to pittsburgh late lastnight to Magee Womens hospital and the on-call surgeon toke out 4 c.c. I felt soooo much better. It was getting to the point where I was barely able to swallow my saliva and I halso had heartburn. My daughter and I went to Kings and I had a huge salad!!! I wasen't quite sure why he took out 4 c.c b/c the Dr had only put in 1 1/2 c.c when I was there on Friday but at that point I diden't care. It took my band from 8c.c to 4c.c. I have another Dr's appt on Aug 23rd so im sure she willl adjust it as need be. I got home about 230 am but I felt alot better. This is very nice to know that this web=page is out there, im very glad I found it, and thanks again for commenting it made me feel alot better. I will post some updates soon. THANKS!!!!!:smile2:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
