3Rd Fill Gone Wrong?



Recommended Posts

Had my 3rd full yesterday... I was super excited bc I needed the restriction.... The nurse stabbed me twice trying to find my port... It was so effen painful! I left in so much pain and a day later I'm still in pain! My mom told me my stomach looks bloated! It almost feels like around my port is pooching out : / is this normal?! I'm scared to call my dr and they will take my fill out, I need the restriction !

Has it been awhile since your last fill? The last time I went I for a full it had been about a year... It didn't hurt with the needle but I was tender and sore for a few days after. All is well now. Figured it was irritated cuz it hadn't been bothered in awhile. If pain is unbearable, go to the surgeon or at least make a phone call.

Why is a nurse filling? I've had 4 fills and always has been a Dr. Ask for one next time due to difficulty.

Same thing happened to me on my 4 th fill. They couldn't find the port opening and 2 nurses were jabbing me for about 10 minutes. They eventually found it and said it was because I'm losing weight and it happens. I'm still a bit worried about it! But anyway I was bruised quite bad and was sore for over a week. I was still happy they filled me as I had visions of flipped port and surgery.

I'd say you'll be fine in a week. Good luck x

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
