Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone can tell me when you get a fill does your tummy swell up at all? I had my first fill yesterday.. My tummy is swollen and pretty sore like I've 100 done tummy crunches.

No. Did you eat anything salty.

I had chicken with gravy for dinner. Gravy maybe be classed as salty.

I would call the doctor. If redness and heat are there to just go to the doctor don't wait. It is possible, that the fill when outside the port and is in the tissue and that could cause swelling. Either way the doctor needs to be notified.

Thanks! It's 4.35 am here ( Australia. ) maybe I will give the hospital a call and see what they say.

Hello,

I had my first fill about 4 weeks ago, and yes I my tummy did feel a little swollen and when I touched my side I could actually feel the port. So what I did was put the icepack on it for about an hour that evening and I was fine by morning. I'm due for another followup/fill next week. Good luck to you. I lost 19 pounds in my first month. I'm truly excited and glad that I had the surgery.

Thanks for your reply! Well done on your weight loss. I think i'm down about 15 pounds.

I went to the doctors yesterday and it turns out I have a big infection. My tummy is all swollen to the point that i feel like i'm pregnant again. Lol. and I have cellulitis and it seems to be getting more infected. I have another appt today for the doctors to keep an eye on it. Ughh definitely not what I signed up for but I'm still happy I chose this journey. Well at this point of time.
