Help 23 days since 2nd fill having problems!!



Recommended Posts

I had my second fill on Dec 16th.

Since then I have had severe pain behind the breastbone, pain in the "gut", what appears to be gas, burping, retching (sometimes with results and sometimes without).

I called the doctor the week after the fill when I still was having trouble with liquids. The nurse called me back the next day. The doctor was in surgery the next two days and didn't call back. The nurse called again to see how I was doing and I told her I was still having trouble with Protein Drinks. I still haven't heard back from the doctor (or, now, the nurse).

The pain is so severe I want to cry. I have no energy - I don't want to eat or drink.

I will be calling the doctor again tomorrow morning and actually demand some attention. (I'm great at sticking up for my children - not very good about being forceful for myself).

Per everything I've read my fill is to tight.

Please give advice on what to do in the meantime to help relieve the pain, etc.

After reading gobs of unsatisfied posts etc I have to add here that my lap band surgery experience to this point made me feel like a poster child. I had my surgery May 19, 2008 - and I have lost 80 pounds so far. My goal was to be at 200 lbs by the end of the year and I beat it!:D

I have another 50 lbs to goal.

Then I maintain for a while and get that Tummy Tuck and get those breasts put back where they belong. :)

If only I felt better right now.

As it is - I live 1 1/2 hours from town and can't get in there until next Tuesday - even if the doctor can see me.

I'm sorry I can't help you regarding your pain; I'm sure you've tried hot (or cold) drinks, and sipping. Can you keep anything down? Are you able to keep Water down? You do realize you can become dehydrated really quickly.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
