Help! Bad Experience With Last Fill



Recommended Posts

My last fill was two and half weeks ago. It had been 2 years since my last fill. A car accident sidelined my entire life for that long.

This was my 4th fill since my surgery in 2009. Dr had a hard time locating the port. He pushed a lot on the port and that hurt a lot. Never had before. Finally got it filled. Next morning I woke up and the injection site looked like a big blister. It's still sore and healing. Two days after that fill I have to go back in and have .02 cc taken out because it was too tight to allow Water to go down without pain.

Since this fill, when I eat I feel nausous afterwards.

Any advice or anyone had a similar experience??

Hang in there it will get better. I had a simular experience. I had to have fluide took out too then about month later have more put in. Yes to start with everything made me sickish...but after a while it does go away.

Ive never had the injection site do this before. It still is a hole, a smaller one but still an infected hole. It got to be the size of a dime. Now its the size of a pencil eraser. And Ive never had the upset tummy after fills before.

Sorry to ask but are you staying on full liquids three days after your fill? That is what my surgeon requests, plus Zofran for upset tummy.

Yep... I followed the "only liquids" to the letter. I was surprised that it swelled that much. Two days sucking on ice because by that evening nothing else would go down.

REALLY? SERIOUSLY? Two years after your accident they discovered it was detatched? When he was pressing to find the port it hurt A LOT. It has never done that ever before. Can I ask.. how did they discover it was dislodged? What should I have him do to ck? I called the dr the day of the accident because I was worried the seat belt had maybe hurt the port because I was bruised from the belt. The office lady said to not worry unless there was pain where the port was. Oh my goodness. I wonder if that is why it hurt like the devil when he was pushing on it.

can you tell me more about your experience if you dont mind.

      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.

      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!
