Is my fill too tight??? I can't sleep at night!



Recommended Posts

<p>I went in May to get a fill and I ended up getting an un-fill because the doctor said that my esophagus was irritated and the I was really tight, I didn’t feel like I was tight but that weekend I went to Vegas and drank, drank and drank which I think caused the inflammation, I was at 2.2 and they left me at 1.5 the doctor told me to go back in 6 weeks so I decided to go back 11 weeks later instead that way I give my self a chance to get better, last Thursday (7/11) I went to get a fill and the doctor told me once again that my esophagus was irritated and he didn’t want to give me a fill, finally after I talked to him and explained how I can eat anything with no problem he told me he would give me a very small fill and that I would have to follow his rules so he did give me a very small fill (from 1.5 to 1.8) and told me to take Prilosec 2 times a day for 7 days and to stay on liquids for 3 days, well I stayed on liquid for 4 days and have been very cautious about what I try to eat, yesterday (Monday) was the first day that I tried to eat and I could get very little down, know that’s not a problem because I started my period yesterday and I always tend to be tighter on that time of the month I figure I can stay on soft foods and liquids for a few more days, my problem since Saturday has been that when I lay down to go to bed I wake up chocking on what seems to be Water or something like that and it even comes out of my nose, I don’t eat at least three hours before bed and I have been doing mainly liquids but I am not sure what it can be. I even started taking the liquid Olive Era to help with the healing. Has anyone else experienced this before??? May I be too tight?? Would this .3 fill make that much difference???? I need help!</p>

sounds like you need to contact dr. RIGHT AWAY! waking up choking with liquid coming out of your nose could lead to serious emergency. call dr. TODAY--and go in.

do you have gastric reflux? (that's what prilosec is for). were you evaluated for a hiatal hernia?

call the dr and go see him!!

please let us know what happened!

best wishes,

The reason why it comes out of my nose is because I am asleep and when I start coughting instead of coming out of my mouth it just comes out through my nose and the Prilosec is to treat the irriated esophagus. I had never had anything like this happen before and I have never had gastric reflex.

Yes, You need the fill reduced or taken out, I had a fill put in and when I went to sleep, made a mistake in drinking a little Water 1hr before bedtime, I felt it girgling for hours, felt like water in my throat, my nurse said don't drink anything, but when I lay down it happend all the time, I had 1/2 cc removed, made all the difference, do not live with the pain or irritation, you will know when you are ready, don't be in discomfort, just take it a little along, I find that it takes time to slowly lose weight, its better for you that way, so don't get to much to quick

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
