Help!!!!!Getting fill tomorrow, but today I felt so tight..



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I had my surgery the 2nd of Feb, tomorrow I am going for my fill....But today I felt really tight and I was eating chicken meatballs, I ate fast and felt 1 bite get stuck....

I didn't PB or slime but it hurt a little, felt like drink Water but I didn't...It felt uncomfortable for may 2min, but it felt forever...

My problem is that I am a little nervous about getting my 1st fill tomorrow, would that cause me to fell more tight???

Also the last week I have been able to eat a lot more, this week-end I ate 3 slices of pizza could have ate the 4th one but stopped my self....I have been feeling I could eat a lot more, but then this happen today...

So now I don't know if I should go and get a fill...What do you guy's think?????

I am on the lower BMI and was told that I would not have that much restriction till I get my 1st fill....

:help:

Thanks

If you can eat 3 slices of pizza you probably need a fill. How is the weight loss going? If you are losing well, you may want to hold off. You need to work very hard on making sure that your bites are very small, smaller than you think you need to take, and be sure you chew your food literally to liquid. I didnt have those bandster rules down pat by my first fill and it really made me learn them fast.

Actually Inamed recommends the first fill at 4-6 weeks, unless they have changed it.

      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.

      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!
