Any Suggestions?



Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Since the day after my fourth fill (3.0), I have had terrible heartburn, and it does not seem to get better no matter what I do. It seems pretty obvious to me now, because of the unrelenting nature, that I need to get some fill removed. Any suggestions for dealing with this until then? I am going to call my Dr. on Monday, but I don't think she had office hours until WEDNESDAY, because she does surgery 3 days a week. Her office is in the hospital, so maybe she can see me briefly. I am really miserable. I ate one scrambled egg, and after two hours I started drinking Water. I have not vomited in any way, but the PAIN of heartburn is terrible. I even took one of the heavy duty prescription anti-acid capsules that she gave me after surgery--NADA. Will it help if I stop eating? It did go away briefly last night. Well, this sure brings to mind the old saying, "Be careful what you wish for". I so wished to be restricted, and now I AM!!!

...a sense of humor throught the pain! :sick

Sultana: I would probably go on liquid diet till you can be seen by the doc.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
