Does pain equal a slip?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I was filled two weeks ago (my fourth fill). I couldn't drink liquids so I went for a slight unfill two days later. On that day, Iwas able to drink a bottle of Water with no problems when I left the doctor's office. However, since then (October 17), it has been very difficult for me to eat anything without having pain. I slimmed yesterday for the first time. I called my doctor today because I was tired of the pain and worried that I'm not feeling better when trying to eat and he wants to see me tomorrow. He is sending me for an X-ray. Now, I'm so afraid of what could be wrong. :(

Or you need to take smaller bites, chew much more and take longer between bites?

You took the correct action to get in contact your surgeon.

To my knowledge there is only 1 physician who posts on this forum. And no diagnosis should ever be made without an exam and medical assessment by a qualified physician, which is what you physician indicated they want to do.

I hope that you feel better fast...

The experience I had with my slip was that I could actually eat a bit more. But I had horrible aid reflux all the time: at night and during the day. My pain was all reflux related. I had a complete unfill which fixed the slip. They also found some ulceration inside too- hence the pain.

Glad your dr is on top of it.

Thanks everyone. I am praying that there is no slip. I hope that all he needs to do is remove some liquid.< /p>

Glad to hear you are feeling better. Sometimes it's just something small that can be easily taken care of. Always contact doctor whenever in doubt!

      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.

        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!
