Stuck After Fill....ughhh!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone...

I had my surgery on April 16, 2012. I am down 37 pounds. On Wednesday October 10th I had another fill...this makes my 4th. Not sure how many cc's because my Doctor doesn't seem to share. Anyway, in the morning I am very tight...which I am used to but I am having a lot of trouble with foods that I have had an easy time with in the past. Such as, egg salad, steamed moist chicken, and even yogurt. Is this normal? Can it be that fickle? I am getting hungry alot but the stuck episodes really hurt and slow me down.....

ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GRATEFUL!!!!

I just had this happen last week. I was banded in January and I am down 67lbs with 13 more to go. I have not had to have very many fills. I got on on July 3rd and did not have another one until last week. I did ok for a couple of days. I really couldn't eat much either. By Sunday I was having a lot of pain. I went back yesterday and he took some out. He said it was just too tight. I feel much better today but am still on liquids. I thought I had something stuck but he said it was just my esophugus was irritated due to the band being too tight. Hope this helps

You might need some Fluid taken out, ask your doc how much fluid is there. Your body, your band, your business. ;)

      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! 😞
