Recent fill



Recommended Posts

I had a fairly large fill last Wed. about 2.5 cc via fluro and I was able to sip Water just fine. Wed evening I sipped apple juice and had a hard time keeping it down. The following day I was still having trouble and had an episode of vomiting, mind you my stomach was empty. I called the on call doctor and he told me not to eat or drink anything else for the and when I get up in the AM to sip a cup of hot tea and if it goes down then I probably still had swelling from the adjustment. I did just that in the AM and it went down fine. So fast forward today I was still having that stuck feeling after trying to sip water or juice or eat Soup, so I decided that tomorrow I would go have Fluid removed but after taking a Zantac I was able to eat half a string cheese stick with no problem and drink a glass of tea. Could that feeling of being stuck have come from acid reflux? As anyone had this experience?

It seems like your dr. added a lot of Fluid at once. Any more than one cc to me is too much. At least that is what my Dr has said. I had 2cc put in during surgery and one added, I'm at restriction. Some only need one or two fills, u never know, u may be one of those people.

I think you had a little bit too much Fluid in your band during your fill. A little un-fill will make you feel so much better and it doesn't even have to be much. .2- .5 cc does wonders.

      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!
