First fill too mich?



Recommended Posts

I just had (literally) within 30 min ago my first fill and it's 5cc is that too much. At first my doctor tried 3 but it wasn't taking, so after positioning me 5 times, he added 2more cc and it took. My concerns are will it be too tight. Scared to death. Please anyone calm my nerves

When he tried it the first time and I had to drink that chalky stuff it will like it was leaking it wasn't taking after positioning me and rearrange of how he was inserting the needle in me and inserting two additional cc it was finally taking

Did he have you drink a glass of Water after the fill to see how it went down? If you couldn't get Water down then you are too tight.

Otherwise, follow any instructions he gave you re soft foods for the next day or two etc and give it time.

From reading your post, it doesn't sound as if you have any actual signs of being too tight, just that you are concerned that you may be because he added the extra 2cc.

Good luck and if you do have any concerns, contact your doctor.

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
