Over Filled??



Recommended Posts

I was banded 3-20-12 and just had my 3rd fill yesterday. After my 2nd fill I could get stuck if I didn't chew good enough or ate to fast but that was only with the first few bites after that I could eat whatever and how ever much. Yesterday my dr gave me what he called an aggressive fill. Since then I have only been able to sip liquids once about every 5 mins and the "slime" and gurgling is extreme. Im worried about dehydration at this point but would hate to get some out and be back where I was before. I guess my question is do u think it will get better since its only the day after??

Really watch that...I had a fill too tight and went alittle over 24 hours before I had it defilled. Also your stomache could be swollen from the fill...If it doesn't get better at least by tomorrow I would call your doc. I lost 6 pounds in a 24 hour period because I couldn't handle much and just drinking Water was causing me to gurgle etc. hope this helps

Call your Doctor and tell him you need some of the Fluid removed. I have dealt with this same problem and 2 weeks later I ended in the ER bc of extreme dehydration. My doctor finally removed 2 cc of the 4 I had and I'm on a liquid diet for a week. He said my stomach was swallow bc of the vomiting. Don't wait I'm not trying to scare you but I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Plus most of June ive spent in the house sick. Good luck!!!

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
