Fills and Restriction?



Recommended Posts

I can understand the logical reason to feel restriction for a few days after a fill, then possibly it going away. (Stomach is irritated and possibly swollen then the swelling goes down) But what logical reason would you "not" feel restriction immediately after a fill and then 1 1/2 weeks later feel it and somewhat over tight?

I have read on this forum some veteran members stating to not worry if you don't feel the restriction after a fill that it could take up to 2 weeks to feel it.

This makes no logical reasoning.

Can someone explain it?

I can't explain it but it happened to me this week. Fill on Tuesday AM, was fine w food wed and thurs am. As if I had no restriction. Then bam it hit me like a ton of freaking bricks. The dr said sometimes it takes a while??? The human body, go figure!!' I had to have a slight un-fill yest.

I so want that feeling. Maybe next fill, maybe not. One thing I do notice is that I don't think about food ...until the evening. Thats when It kind of hits me. That's when I go to bed and read.

I am getting this too. All to often. Fine for a week or 2 after fill and then all of sudden wham. Tight tight tight. I am really uncomfortable right now and have been for a 2 weeks. Drinking liquids is hard. Ugh! Is this normal.

no rhyme or reason. i had to have a small unfill after 6 days because couldn't keep anything down. now some days i feel restriction and others i don't and can consume way too much food. mornings are impossible can't eat but a couple of bites and in the evening can eat a lot. can't decide if a need more fill or what. it's been nearly 2 weeks since my unfill. haven't lost a thing since then. ugh. what to do what to do

I had quite a journey so far. Was really tight for almost 2 years. Kept me from gaining weight but was miserable. Went back for an unfill in DEC and they took out 2CC. way too much. gained about 20 pounds. Went back recently and they put 2 back in. Couldn't eat anything at all. Went back and they took out .3 cc. I figured it would make little difference but it made all of the difference in the world. I can eat everything now but get full really quick. ex 1 small piece of pizza fills me up. this is the best I have ever felt. Lost a few pounds and hopefully what I gained will come off quick.

Good to hear. For me 5 1/2 is too loose and 6 Is too tight! I will be calling my doc on Monday for a slight unfill. Maybe .25 will be my magical number.

      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!
