First Fill Freaking Out



Recommended Posts

Had my first fill last night at 8:30 pm.. Doctor told me liquids in the am and you can have lunch at 12 or 1..Had coffee this morning that went fine, had a spoonfull of yogurt like 20 minutes ago and im having the worst shoulder pain EVER...Im freaking out the pain is sharp and intense...How long should i wait for it to go away?? I know it was the yogurt I can feel it sitting there...Please help..Thanks

If yoghurt won't go down, you might be too tight. Or, you might have just swelled in response to the fill. I'd go back to full liquids for another day, and then call the clinic back, if you can't tolerate solids.

I am so terrified of the fill. Did it hurt?

Fills done right don't hurt at all. Don't worry.

My dr says full liquids only for 48 hours after a fill. Try waiting longer next time before trying to eat.

Didn't hurt! Just the pinch and I had to get up and do the X-ray with the needle still on me that was weird but not painful! I'm feeling better today! Had some Soup and half a toast it went down fine just had to eat slowly and got full with half a cup!! Thanks for replying

      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!
