Second fill and i swear i can something different...?



Recommended Posts

I just left

The doctor where I got my second fill. She intended to give me 1cc but my port "sucked up" another .5 !! Lol! I told her that's because we are HUNGRY!! I sipped my Water and everything seems good, though I swear I can feel something different, even when not drinking. I feel a tightening in my chest. It's not uncomfortable at all, it's just an awareness....

Has anyone felt this way? My BIGGEST fear is being too tight-- my port is very tender and this second fill hurt pretty badly. I don't want anymore!

Your stomach is likely a bit swollen from the fill, which is normal, and would cause that tightness you're feeling.

I always stay on liquids for 24 hours after a fill then very cautiously work real food back in. You'll find every fill is truly a learning experience, especially as you increase the amount in your band.

Best wishes.

Seems the tightness was temporary. I feel like myself now and will be on liquids for the rest of today.... Thanks for the advice!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
