Lap Band Overfilled Or Just Swollen?



Recommended Posts

Just got my second fill. I think i may be overfilled or i am hoping my tummy is just swollen. I got my fill at 11 this am. I drank a starbucks had minor indegestion. I tried ice cream it didnt sit well. i had a pb episode. tried warm Soup and got a little down but then another episode. tried drinking some juice it went down but gave me indegestion. I just ate a popsickle and it went down but again i got indegestion. I have been burping alot. oh hold on. Welp just lost the popsickle. I dont know whats going on. Is all of this normal? Am i just swollen?

I am usually O.K. for a day or two and then seem to swell up. Everyone is different. You may be overfilled. I believe not being able to keep liquids down is a red flag though.

You are showing all of the typical signs of being very over filled - acid reflux usually only happens when you are very over filled, a little tightness doesn't cause that.

Go back to your Dr and get half of your fill removed asap. And start taking Prilosec OTC to stop the acid reflux so you don't end up with pouch or esophageal issues. Until you can see your Dr. stick with pure liquids (clear Soup, Water, Protein shake, etc.) no semi solids or solids.

      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! 😞
