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:

      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.

      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!!
