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.

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.

      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?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
