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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
