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:

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
