First Fill Discomfort



Recommended Posts

I've just received my first fill. Doc put 4 cc at surgery & put .5 cc as my first fill. I asked him to go easy because i didnt want the chance of being overly tight when i know he & staff will be off for the thanksgiving holiday. I've lost 15lbs since surgery a little less than four weeks ago. My question is... My port area is still giving my discomfort, even more since I was filled. Is this normal? Seems like the port sits right where I bend. I can't seem to get comfortable, good thing I can where dresses because wearing pants just kills me!!

Hi I had mine done 4 weeks now. Had a filled already on Tuesday, It's giving me discomfort only when bending down, not that much as when I had surgery. If you have discomfort all the time and 4weeks already check it out.

Port area is slow to fully heal. If you are concerned ask the doctor about it!

Hi you are still fresh out. Just take it easy and nooo jeans. I wore dresses for a couple weeks. Your port area will be sensitive as it is setting into your tissues so that it stays in place. You will be ok. Congrats on the 15lbs!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
