MY Second Fill



Recommended Posts

I was banded on Nov.14, 2007. I had my first fill on Dec.26, 2007, for a total of 2cc, I had no restriction. On Jan.30, 2008, I had my second fill, for a total of 4cc, I now feel pain when I drink Water on any liquids, it almost feel like its going to come back up. I really don't want to get an unfill, because it only been a couple of days. :party:

It's not uncommon to feel heavy-duty restriction, even up to 2 weeks after a fill. Don't go for an unfill quite yet but instead stay on liquids and mushies for a few days, then move to solids very slowly and carefully...just baby your band as best you can. you know the drill. If after that time you are having trouble getting solid food to stay down, then by all means call your doctor.

Baby Cat, I got my 3rd fill on 01/30/08 and I also have pain when drinking liquids. It is a little better today. I believe it is from the swelling that occurs after a fill. She tried to add 1cc but Water wouldn't go down so she backed it off to .5cc and the water went down slowly. I've had a few solids and they go down fine but it doesn't take much to fill me up. I think I finally have good restriction. If the pain isn't gone on Monday I am going to call the doctor but I do believe it is from swelling.

Thanks for the advice, I am feeling a little bitter today. I believe I have good restriction. I guess it's a small price to pay, to be thin.

      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!
