What can I do?



Recommended Posts

Wow, so I feel stupid. I went in for my second fill yesterday. I had 2 cc's in me before and he added 2 more. It was too tight and I didn't want him to take any out because I had had NO resistance before but I couldn't keep Water down so I asked him to take out only half a cc. It was going down but coming back up, so I figured I only needed to have a little out.

I live an hour and a half away from my doc and was stopping by the office on my way home from an out of town visit to a sick family member and was thinking about that, worried about hitting traffic, and like I said, I didn't want him to take any more out because I have been really wanting resistance and didn't want to go all the way home without getting any.

So he said to drink the whole water bottle but I didn't of course because I was preoccupied and the water seemed to be going down and not coming up after slowly drinking a third of the bottle.

A half hour later it came back up and ever since then I have been burping and/or vomiting slime every half hour to hour. I can't drink anything. Obviously, it's too tight.

My question is, will it get better when the swelling goes down or is that just stupid to hope for? Can the band slip from my light vomiting? I mean, there's very little abdominal flexion when the slime comes up but I'm still worried.

I should have drank the whole bottle of water.... I just can't believe how dumb I was to rush out of there without waiting the proper amount of time. What can I do to help this situation or do I just have to suck it up and drive back to the doctor today and get it loosened?

I don't think you should wait to see if the swelling goes down. Another 1/2 cc out will make a lot of difference. Are you keeping sips down? Peeing every couple of hours? I hate that you are going through this, good luck.

Thanks, I made an appt with a closer doctor and I go in to see him in an hour. I am peeing but can't keep sips down at all. I weighed myself this morning and I've lost 4 pounds in Water. At least I can see someone in my area for today and then go back to my regular doc next month.

I think you need to go back and have it fixed so you can keep Water down.

Oh I'm doing sooo much better thanks for asking. The other doc's office took out .75 and now I'm doing well. Learned my lesson though. :thumbup:

      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!
