Not Sure If I Should Get Another Fill



Recommended Posts

Ill start by saying two months ago I had a fill and was at 8.3ccs and first couple of days couldn't eat anything, only liquids..then it loosened up enough where I could eat a little at a time, had horrible heartburn, night coughs, everything but lost 15 pounds that month. I don't eat healthy food I eat whatever I want. After that I got a little more put in because imstupid, so had to get an unfill the next day and they took two whole ccs out. Now I'm back up to 7.9cc and have a little heartburn, but I want to get like .2 at most put back in. Am I totally stupid??

If you have heartburn then yes, you would be unwise to get extra fill added. Your dr should discuss this with you and if you answer honestly (not saying that you wouldn't, please don't take offence!), then he/she should refuse to give you a fill. Being too tight can have long term repercussions.

yes, if you are still getting heartburn and have a cough. I have afriend who liked her band so tight, couldn't tolerate much of anything.....2.5 years post surgery, one gallbladder out later and she had to get totally unfilled. Up 60 of the 80 pounds and she is just getting her fills done again now. So, better slow than fast if fast means problems for you.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
