I am not sure if I am in the green zone or too tight…If your in the green zone are you able to just take sips because to big of a drink hurts going down or comes back up? Same with food. What about gurgling…do you gurgle after each drink even water? I also burp a lot with water when I didn’t before I am just not sure if I am good or too tight…help!

I can't answer this question for you, as I am not too tight. I do get gurgling feelings when I have eaten too fast/much. It's my warning sign to slow it down.

Call your doctor's office and ask. Just to be sure.

Wish I could help, goal, but I have not even had one fill yet. I hope you get it figured out be it here on the forum or from your dr's office. Keep us posted.

Call dr sounds a little too tight. The gurgling sometimes means that.

When was your fill? Sometimes it takes a day or two to have it "settle in," for lack of a better word. Can you eat solid Protein with no problems (very small bites, chewed well)? Are you satiated with about a cup of food eaten over about a half hour or less? If so, you're probably in the green zone. If you can't keep down or get down solid protein, you're probably too tight. Remember, it does take time to adjust after each fill- you kind of have to re-figure out how things go down, etc, and what you can and can't eat now.

Good luck!

Big drinks hurt me. Actually... if I watch someone guzzle water, it hurts ME!

LOL!!!

Hello! It sounds like you are good to me. I get gurgling and I have to take smaller sips and chew my food really well. If you were too tight then you wouldn't be able to get any food down at all. You shouldn't be able to take big gulps. Give it a few days and see how it goes. Mine usually loosens up a little (which is actually swelling going down in your stomach that is caused by the fill). Hold out a little while before checking with your doc. You should be fine. Obviously, if you can't keep anything down or there is any other complications, call them right away.

I get the annoying gurgling when i'm too tight...

I started gurgling after drinking anything after my 3rd fill - when I hit the green zone. Stopped gurgling about 6 mths later (even tho I've been filled/unfilled several times since then. My husband kinda misses it. Lulled him to sleep! I know I wasnn't too tight. I remembering asking on here about the gurgling and found out it was perfectly normal.

GOOD LUCK

It sounds like you're a bit too tight. At my first fill the doctor put 3ccs in, but after I sipped water it was gurgling going down. She told me that's definitely too tight if you have gurgling.. Took 2ccs out and that was just right.

My surgeon said if i gurgle or feel as if liquid floats before going down its too tight! There should never be any problems with fluids ever!

I wanted to say You guys are Amazing! I am so happy that I have this site to turn too because you all helped me so much!...I ended up calling my doctor and then I was fine its strange...I had my fill a week ago and I was fine but yesterday was strange. I also told her how much I hate mornings and she told me to drink warm water or tea so I drank warm tea today and wow it really helped. Anyway thank you all and they are keeping an eye on me cause I may have to go in and defill...Today so far so good! :wub: I hope you all are doing great!
