Tightness In Chest After My Fill.....



Recommended Posts

Banded August 15th and just had my first fill last Thursday. Ever since my fill I have what I can best describe as like a tightness in my chest and like a bit of a lump in my throat. It's not painful, it's just a feeling I have not felt. Almost like a shortness of breath in a way. I'm drinking and eating just fine so I don't think I'm too tight. Anyone else ever experience something like this???

I did after my last fill in Jan. i felt it in the back of my throat for weeks, also when the took out the old Fluid and instilled the new, I felt an exterme amount of pressure in my chest. That was the first time that had happened to me. I will say even though you are eating and drinking ok if the discomfort continues I would call my fill doc and discuss this with him. Good luck.

I have not but it would not hurt to call your doc and get their opinion on it. You should not be uncomfortable.

When ever I felt that way I was always to tight and needed a little release... but it would also be combined with not being able to swallow anything... good luck!

Yes with every fill, for me it only lasts about a day then I'm back to normal. For the first day if my fill I stick to liquids then softer foods next day. If you are eating and drinking fine give it a day or two to settle. It's just a bit of swelling from the fill. If you are really concerned call them and let them know how you're feeling just to put your mind at rest.

Gratz on your first fill!

      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! 😞
