Symptoms of an overfill?



Recommended Posts

Hey guys. I just got my third fill yesterday. He put in 1 cc, so I'm up to 3.4 cc's. He told me to gulp the water.. so I did. It didn't feel to bad, but after I left, I had the feeling I needed to throw up. So I didn't drink anything for a few hours. Then I drank a few tiny sips of some juice, hoping it would make me feel better... Well, about an hour later I threw up foam. I didn't want to try anything else for a while, just in case. Then I started slowly sipping some lemonade, and that seemed to go down fine. Well, last night, I felt like I couldn't lay all the way down... I just had a feeling, I'm not sure how to explain it, just felt like i was going to throw up so I used a huge pillow that propped me up. Well all through out the night I kept waking up coughing just as soon as I fell asleep. I felt like I was throwing up, not realizing it and it would go down my trachea. It hasn't happened since I've been awake, and I haven't drank anything more out of fear than anything. I'm not sure if this is an overfill or what. anyone had the same issues? I'll call my doc as soon as they open... I'm just curious if anyone has any ideas? Or is it just the swelling of my stomach?

Definitely sounds like an over-fill to me. Make sure you both call your docs ASAP. You don't want to become dehydrated.

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

      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! 😞
