Fill question help



Recommended Posts

I had my lap and placed about a year ago. I have been able to maintain about a 40 to 50 pound loss.Ups and downs and I totally refocused. I just had a fill on Tuesday and I am experiencing very increased restriction. I can barely keep liquids down. But the last time I had a fail I had to go for an unfilled the next day because he put too much Fluid in the band and I and after that I basically had no restriction which is why I've been up-and-down so much so I don't want to jump the gun and go ahead and call and have him do it unfill when maybe this is just some swelling because I am experiencing a little more pain at my at my port site than I ever remember having before so I'm thinking maybe it's just swollen and I should wait a few days any advice??

Can you sip slowly and keep liquids down? If so, I might wait it out a couple of days. If even with slow sips things come up, I probably wouldn't wait, due to fear of dehydration.

My surgeon tells me it can take 5 days for swelling from a fill to go down...I normally stay on liquids for that time.

Since I has three days of not keeping even Water down . I went for an unfill hopefully he didn't take out too much . He does my fills under fluoro and says it looks like it's going through are you sure you want me to take any out ... I was like YES!!! I mean when the barium goes through it looks like it's fast but three days of torture ..... I went with having some taken out .

      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!
