Help! What Should I Do?



Recommended Posts

Ok had another fill wed. I feel very swollen. Having a very hard time bit figured it will get better. I felt perfect my last fill. I don't know why he put more in. I eat a strawberry and now it's stuck! The pressure is Not so much on my chest as it is between my boobs. Should I try and get it up or it will eventually go down. I am not having major spit in my mouth but do have indigestion/burps that I can taste strawberry! I have a special wedding tot tonight and don't want to hurt myself! Advice please!!

If you didn't feel like you needed a fill, you should have told the doctor and not let him/her give you one.

That aside, you should not force any food back up. If it comes up naturally then it will.

Make sure you are standing up straight and try moving your arms in circles, walk around, to help it to go on through, works for me, it will take a few or more minutes. If all else fails, some say on here that pineapple juice helps with stuck episodes, but I have not tried this yet. Hopefully you don't bring it back up, but it may happen, I have not had this yet, but only on my second fill.

Also might want to double check with your doc on instructions of how to eat after a fill. My doc instructs that I can't have solid food until 4 days after a fill because of the possible swelling, I have to go through the process like after the surgery, but in 1 day intervals.

I thought he was just checking the level of fluid! I told him it felt perfect. I lost 11lbs for crying out loud!!

It will probably come up or go down. The important thing is you most likely irritated your esophagus and you should stay on liquids awhile.

Have a couple of questions. When was the fill? And how long after you ate did you try and drink your tea? If it has been in the last week you may have to just do Protein Shakes or mushy foods for a few days until the swelling and iritation goes down. I am very sensative to my fills. I have only had 3 in two years and I hate getting them because it takes me several weeks to adjust. If you can take in fluids you will be ok until Monday, if you are unable to take in fluids and are having reflux than you may need to call his service and see if they can see you in the emergency room.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
