First Stuck And Pb Right After 1St Fill



Recommended Posts

Ok so I had my first fill on Thurs. morning and was on a liquid diet till yesterday afternoon. For lunch I tried having a Healthy Choice bowl and it was a huge mistake. Now I was able to eat it just fine before the fill. I know I obviously didn't chew enough or maybe it was the rice in it after all, but it got stck real good. I ended up haing my first PB. Not fun. I will not do that again. Ended u throwing away 3/4ths of the meal away. Is this a common experience after a fill, finding out your limits, or was this just a first fill beginners mistake?? Thanks!

Common. I got stuck on soft scrambled eggs. Take it slow and you will learn your new limits. Sorry about the PB, but now you know! By the way, I eat NO rice, an d very little Pasta. It is a problem food for me.

The stuck thing is just a reminder of rules and what we can tolerate. Corn, rice, bread not for me but these are what got me heavy in first place:(

No one enjoys the stuck episodes or PB but it can happen. Mine do about a week after my fills so I have to re-assess how I eat, how fast I eat, and my bite sizes. It's crazy how in the beginning I could eat a half a plate, then a quarter, to a cup, 1/2 cup, to now finally 1/4c green zone for the most part.

Its common. Sometimes it's trial and error. When you have a bad reaction to foods just don't go near them again

For me. No Pasta, rice, bread ( except croutons ) still cannot do beef or pork. Trial and error you will figure it out. hugs.

I agree, after a fill you can be easily irriatated, it gets almost sensitive or mine does, so ease into it..AND I found that after each fill the things I use to be able to eat, I can not anymore..so a good idea is to look at alot of the foods that the long time banders eat and see if it will work for you, I know this has helped me alot!!! Good luck!!

Csking, reading your post made me remember ... Vividly... When the same thing happened to me. Ugh, ugh, ugh I thought I was going to be the first lapbander to die from eating, of all things, a few tortilla chips! Usually chips work fine for me and they do again, by the way, but for some reason on that day a couple of days after my fill, they did not. Now, everyday, when I eat I go realty really slow and see how I will respond before I continue. It was a real learning experience, and now you know too! You won't forget how it felt, believe me!

Is it just a burp or does food come up. I burp often but nothing comes up

It depends. Sometimes it's just a burp or a little food and mucus comes up. Sometimes it's painful throwing up and chest pains. It happens to me if I eat too fast or too much. If you talk while you eat it can happen. You just have to be careful to chew everything well and stop when you are satisfied.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
