Fill, Fill, And Unfill Within 2 Days



Recommended Posts

I went to the doctor the other day for a fill. He put in .5cc. Prior to this appointment, I could eat anything. I was explaining that to the doctor and he said well, if you want I can put in more. I said sure, why not. I mean, I had 4.25 in a 10cc band and had zero restriction. (This was my fourth fill). So he got another needle and put in the other .5cc. Now I was at 5.25cc. I swallowed some Water before I left so I thought I was ok. Fast forward a few hours later and I could barely swallow saliva. I decided to give it time to settle and see how I felt the next day. Well, that was no better. I ate nothing and had my first sliming incident (which was weird because there was no food in me). I went back the following day (two days after the two fills) and he took out .5cc. So now I'm at 4.75 and have been able to drink and eat fluids. (I haven't tried anything else yet).

Given that situation, my port has been stuck with a needle three times in two days. It is now very, very sore. I know after one needle stick you can be sore and/or irritated, much less three needle sticks. So the question is, has anyone else had several needle sticks in their port in a very short period of time? Aside from the soreness, did you have any other lasting effects or was any damage done?

      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.
