Is This Normal?



Recommended Posts

Yesterday I had my 3rd filling. He put in 2 cc's and it was too much I couldn't hold Water down so he took out .75cc's and it was ok Ok, so I was on liquids for the remainder of yesterday after my fill. Today I ate a small Breakfast and its hrs later and it still won't go down. I drink water, tea and it comes back up. Not all of it but a good amt of it. I think I may have gotten too much filling although he did take out some. Im going to try liquids for the next 3 days and see if that helps. Anyone gone through this or is going through this???

It's possible you're too tight, but also possible that you're still swollen. My dr's guidelines are liquids the day of a fill, soft foods on day 2, and regular food on day 3. He has actually added an extra day in there for me as I tend to stay swollen longer. I think I'd call the office and see what they say.

I called the Dr today and he said clear fluids the rest of the day and he will see me tmrw morning at 10am. I hope he only takes .25 or .5cc's at most. It's hard for me to keep liquids down. It takes too long,and some still comes back up after a while after my saliva accumulates. Not normal at all. The tightening starts loosening up when you're losing weight right? That's what I've been told by some ppl on here.

I have never felt the tightness although I do still get stuck sometimes, glad you called the doctor. :)

I threw up and could not eat very much at all for three weeks following my last fill, i was having reflux over night and was fairly miserable. I went very gently , Doc said i ate too soon after the fill and probably had something stuck. I was all set to insist he took out a bit and almost overnight it all settled down. I have pretty good restricting and am not throwing up any more. I lost nearly 3 kilo in three weeks - that has now slowed as i am back to eating regular foods again. My doctor says as you lose the band loosens. Not to much more i hope as i have 10 ml in my 10lm band.

I'm going to the Dr today to take some filling out. Even Water is a struggle for me so solids are definitely out of the picture. Even puree is a struggle. I wanna lose weight but I wanna stay healthy doing it. Looking fwd to today and seeing how much I lose the rest of the mth.

Just got out of the Dr's. He took out .5cc's and I felt instant relief. However, I do feel weak since I've been on an empty stomach for 2 days. I'm drinking a glass of cold milk and it feels sooooooo good. So my 3rd filling went from being 2 to 1.25 to .75 cc's. 4 more weeks for my next fill. Looking fwd to the weight loss with this one. :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
