still having problems from over fill



Recommended Posts

Hi,

Was over filled thurs. Got in Fri. morn. for a unfill. I drank Water at the dr. office. Had some warm coffie a few hrs later, then a sip of milk and I was too tight again. Doc. office closed by now and I am slimming again. I stopped trying to drink and layed down for a nap, since I go no sleep the night before. Tried room temp. water and I slimmed. Called the doc, told him I couldn't even drink water again and he emailed me to stay on liquids, I was still swollen. I can't get liquids in!

Sat. I got one 8 oz. power aide sports drink in (the whole day it took me)Now it's sun morning and I have such a cold, throat sore and guess what..can't swallow anything again.

This isn't fun.

I read some of you had a few days of swelling after a unfill. How long before you can drink? I know with this cold it will slow healing down but someone tell me there is a light coming soon.

I had a fill on Thursday as well. Too much I think. I was fine at the doctor's office. But this weekend has been a nightmere. HEARTBURN like no other. I can drink- but it burns my throat so much. I'm taking so many meds to get it to stop. I'll have to go in on Monday too. I too have slimmed every time I have tried to eat this weekend. Not fun. No full blown throw up though.

You are going through exactly what I was going through last week. I tried to ride it out for 10 days. But it just got worse and worse. My throat spasmed and closed up. I would get acid so bad I couldn't even sleep. I couldn't drink. It was horrible. So I went back to the dr and he said I had to have an unfill. I asked him to take out as little as possible but he said that I would have to heal from this overfill. So he took out half of my fill. I was at 6.5 cc's and now I'm at 3 cc's. The first few days I barely noticed anything. But after the third day I finally could get liquids down again without a problem. All the throat and acid problems are gone. It was such sweet relief I didn't even care about the unfill. But now I am getting really hungry again so I have to make a post about that to see if anyone has any suggestions until I can get refilled in 3 more weeks. Good luck. You just have to get more of an unfill I guess. Let us know. Pam

Yeah, I went in Monday and they took out .5cc. They said I could come back next week and have .25cc put back in.

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
