I have had my last fill this Friday and am experiencing discomfort in my abdomen. I had a tight fill before but NEVER felt discomfort...just a lot of restriction. I have also never experienced reflux. I have eaten Soup, a few pretzels, ice cream, and pudding and it goes down ok. I guess I am scared I had a slip but never felt a thing or had an issue until this last fill. Has anyone had discomfort just from a fill or should I suspect something is wrong?

I just had my 2nd fill about 2 wks ago and I am very slow about getting back to eating solid food, but I have noticed that I am having some issues eating anything more solid than Soup or oatmeal. I kinda dont want to go back for a removal of Fluid, cuz I know when you start losing the weight the band will loosen up. I also know I started back on Celebrex for arthritis in my back, so I am not sure if I am having some acid issues due to that either. I am leaning toward the Celebrex being the issue rather than the fill and I may need to cut out the meds, grrr cuz they really help me...on top of having pain still from having had a softball size tumor removed from my lower back...:thumbup:

I usually have a lot of discomfort in my port after a fill, usually for a day or two.

Are you feeling discomfort where your port is? Or in your stomach? Your band might be too tight...

I was directing that to the person who posted the thread...but it sounds like your band might be too tight. Maybe you should see about getting some Fluid taken out, sometimes a small amount can make all the difference.

      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?
