OUCH! Fill and unfill still not ok



Recommended Posts

HI, I am 5 months post op and have had NO problems with my band thus far but my weight loss has pretty much stopped so when I went for my Dr. appointment they gave me another fill (4th all together) They put in 1.5 cc so I had a total of 6 cc in. I couldn't even keep a sip of Water down. I went back and got an unfill of .75. Immediatley felt better. This was yesterday. Today I can swallow water very slowly I tried to eat some steamed shrimp, chewed almost to liquid. But after 2 shrimps I got this pain in my chest . It's right underneth my left breast and can feel it all the way through my back. In fact it hurts worse in my back then in the front now. I can deal with the limited amount of food I can eat but the pain is not something I want to feel every meal. HAs anyone else gone through this? What do you think I should do? Thanks so much.

I had an unfill after my port reposition became infected and my stomach closed up.. I haven't had a single solid meal yet without that pain!.. even chewing really well.. I give up most meals and go for a shake.. I am hoping it is because I am still slightly swollen,.. the back pain is agony isn't it!.. I usually throw up when that happens.. (daily!).. it has been nearly three weeks since my unfill. My infection has gone.. but still can't get most solids down..

didn't even think about gallbladder!!!!!!!!.. heck..don't need that now!

I hope you feel better soon.

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

      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! 😞
