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!!!

      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! 😞
