Fill Problems



Recommended Posts

Everytime I get a fill, I usually need over 1cc, I go maybe every 4 months. When I get the fill, my stomach doesn't take well to it, and usually locks up so I cannot get anything down, not even my own saliva, so the dr ends up having to take more than half of what he put in out, and 3 days later I am starving just like I was before. What's the deal, anyone had problems with this? He said my stomach might be going into spasms, does anyone know of a way to avoid this, I am getting very down on my lap-band right now.

I just had my second fill today. Both times I've had to have some removed. The first time, he but in 3 and took out 1. Today, he put in 2 and removed some - I'm sure .5 to 1. I couldn't swallow Water in the office. The nurse said sometimes they've had "slow fillers". Since it happened to me twice, she said they will have to go slow with me every time. I'm a bit discouraged, but I'm sure it will work out. (I'm hoping.) I'm in the same spot of you... I get filled, unfilled, then a few days later - I'm hungary again. I'm sure it's all going to be the way it supposed to.... Good luck!

had my 3rd fill two days ago and I can't get anything down, the same thing happended for my second fill but not this bad. I tired sipping 1 oz every 15 minutes and after 3 sips it was coming up. So much salvia. I told the pa that i had a hard time last time so she said she would only put in .6, last time it was .5 but I had lost some when she checked. What made you get to the point where you went back and had some taken out?

      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!
