Hey there!! I just got a fill yesterday. This is my 3rd fill and the 2nd one was great until I started eating more and more at night so I thought I should go in for another fill, so yesterday, I went everything was great. I know I am suppose to be on liquids, I did good today,I had grits for dinner, however, tonight I screwed up (Used to eating at night) and I have 100 calorie snack and some dorittos. I know that was the wrong thing to eat and I am getting back on track, now I have the worst heartburn. My chest and back :crying:hurts and I was spitting earlier. I have learned what I can't do with this fill thus far, I have been trying to sip water it goes down but it's like ghurglin, I just hope I don't have to get an unfill, but I am concerned now is heartburn going to a regular thing or is it just because I screwed up?? Should I get a unfill??

I think there is swelling initially,that is why you need the liquids. Hopefully, if you are really good, and go back to liquids, you will be ok in a few days.

Hang in there, take something for your heartburn/gas like Phazyme (it always works for me), and most importantly no more Doritos!!!!

There is quite a bit of swelling after a fill, so I would actually stay on liquids for the next day or so and then gradually work my way back up to more solid foods. I don't tolerate fills well so I usually had to be on liquids for almost half a week before I could try foods again.

were you having heartburn?

were you having heartburn?

No I just felt like I had swallowed a golf ball and had extreme pain. But my doc said that heartburn is a classic sign of being too tight or that swelling has occured.

Move back to liquids for 24 then mushies then solids. If the heartburn continues there are only 2 remedies. A slight unfill or medication. Good luck.
