Weird Sensation After A Fill



Recommended Posts

I went in for a fill today and everything was fine all day.... A little while ago I had something (can't remember what) and got this weird sensation in the middle of my chest (kinda between my b@@s)

Just now, I took 1/2 of a sleeping pill with some cold tea and I feel the same sensation. It's like a burning sensation... But not of "fire", its more like what you feel when you eat a York Peppermint patty.

Has anyone felt this after a fill? There's no pain, and it doesn't really bother that much. It's just WEIRD.

Your band is in the middle of your chest, so if you got a fill today, it's probably swelling....cold tea will further tighten the band too.

Things to look for after a recent fill is reflux and extreme heartburn or burping are signals that you are too tight or something is wrong, and obviously vomiting.

If you were able to get down cold tea, you are probably good to go, I would take it easy and make sure my sips of liquids are very teeny and not gulping.

And again, if you continue to have uncomfortable sensations call your surgeons office.

If it were me, I would not drink cold liquids along with pills, I made that mistake a few years ago and the cold Water tighten my band and the pill got stuck and I ended up in the ER from work, I will never do that again as long as I have a band.

Yes this is typical for me 5-6 days after a fill.

After about a week or so after a fill i can swallow any Vitamin with cold or hot beverages and i feel nothing at all.

Let your doctor know if this feeling doesnt go away after awhile.

If it doesnt you may have very well reached the Green Zone.

      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.

      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!
