After Fill- liquids barely going down



Recommended Posts

This was my 4th fill, so i should know this stuff by now, i think i'm posting just to hear what i want to hear...but here goes.

This is pretty much going like it has for the other fills, no worries right after, i could get my liquids down. Did 24 hours of liquids after the fill. THEN the day after that i could eat very little food...great. But then the day AFTER that....it got really tight, I'm PB'ing and sliming on everything solid (this happened before, i thought i would need an emergency unfill, but then went on liquids again for 24 hours and after i was good) Now i've had the same thing again, except now, even after all this, i'm still putting myself on liquids and i'm STILL sliming. So i got the fill wednesday afternoon, its now monday afternoon. How much longer should i wait to schedule a small defill.

I just had my 4th fill last Tuesday...yep, even liquids were tough at first and I still can't drink a lot at one time, BUT my food is going down fine at this point and has been since Thursday. SO, my advice would be to call and talk to the surgeon's office.

Yeah, the thing that sucks about fills is that they don't always kick in the day of the fill. You might get tighter or you might loosen up a bit. You should know by now when your fills kick in. Is it immediate? Mine kick in on day #3. Everyone is different.

You HAVE to stop barfing and if that means a slight unfill, do it. If you can't keep liquids down, you HAVE to get a slight unfill. Just don't stay too tight too long, you risk a slip or erosion.

If you feel that u need an unfill do it before you dehydrate it is no fun being dehydrated. I was so tight I couldn't get anything down not even Water. I was throwing up foam and bubbles. It was awful.

      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.

        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!
