After each fill, eating hurts for about 3 weeks. Even my abdomen swells for a week and even drinking liquids hurt. I don't pb much, but the first bites of food are painful, then I have to wait about 10 minutes, and eat a little more of the food. Takes me about 45 minutes to finish a small meal. I usually start feeling a little better right before the next fill.

My 3rd fill was last Thursday morning, and its the usual, but this time I have a little heartburn. It's not a lot, just mild. But because I seem to really swell from each fill where it takes several weeks to heal, I'm thinking I should give it until my next fill. If I still have the heartburn on Aug 27, then I'll have them take a little saline out. I was able to eat some tuna salad this afternoon, so I can eat solid foods, not just Soup and Protein drinks.

I wish I healed as fast as some of you!

It takles me a few weeks to get adjusted after a fill. I learned the hard way that I cannot eat anything for at least 2 hours after I wake up. I also noticed that I can usually eat more at night so that is what I'll do. I had my last fill 4 days ago and had no problems until yesterday - every time I tried to eat - after only 2 bites - I was dry heaving over my sink. I finally settled for Soup & Jello for dinner to give me some time to heal. How much saline do you have right now? Are you drinking liquids only for the first 24 hours? Maybe you should wait a little longer between fills? It seems like you have a good weight loss and restriction going and you could wait longer before your next fill. good luck!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
