2nd fill today and heartburn/reflux..



Recommended Posts

Last month I got my first fill of 1 cc which brought me to 4 cc's total. For the first 5 or 6 days afterwards I had a lot of heartburn and reflux and then it went away. I didn't have it every time I ate, just sporadically throughout the day.

Now today I had 1 more cc added and I've got reflux and heartburn again. It's mild but it's definitely there. I'm on liquids for the next 24 hours. Should I just assume that for me it's normal to have reflux for a few days after a fill or what?

I drank Water at my appointment with no problem and I'm having no problem swallowing or keeping down liquids.< /p>

You probably have some swelling from the fill. It should subside in a few days. If it doesn't, I would call your doc. and let them know what's going on. Best wishes

I have the worst reflux after fills... I usually just take 2 zantac 75's and it helps it alot!

So how many fills have you had so far? Do you get the reflux every time?

It's annoying to me but since it's happened each time I'm guessing it's just a normal side effect, right?

Oh thank you girl! That is good to know! I just got a fill increase of .5 which brought me to 4cc. I have heartburn so bad right now and I have only had Water... Just a few sips.... I am going to try the Zantac 75. I appreciate that!

      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.

      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!
