Post Fill Question



Recommended Posts

So Friday I have an appointment for my first fill. I have some friends in town and they are going to a Water park that day as well. Do you think I'll be fine to enjoy the park right after getting my first fill?

Sure, I don't see why not. You will just likely be on liquids for the first day or so after.

Just be sure to take a big gulp of Water before you leave the doc's office, not just a little sip. If you're too tight the Water will gurgle back up your throat and you can immediately get a little taken out.

Good luck with your fill and enjoy the water park :)

I agree i cant see why u couldnt go and enjoy yourself, just be careful physically as u still are only a 5 weeks post op.. A fill shouldnt restrict u physically afterwards at all, if u are concerned discuss with your doctor :)

Of course you can enjoy the Water park. Having a fill is like having blood drawn, a minor inconvenience.

I had double-header softball games immediately after both of my fills. It was fine. Just be careful and make sure you can handle gulping Water. I chug mine, and it startled me at first to feel the water backing up. Haha.

Although don't do any waterpark food! You need to re-learn to eat after EVERY fill. If you can eat something now, there is no guarantee it will stay safe for you. It changes. My doctor has me on liquids the first day, then mushy the next. Solids after that.

You should be fine but follow doctors rules. Full liquids for whatever he/she advises. I took it easy on first fill, stomach a little queasy because they are messing with it. But overall felt fine.

      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!
