First fill and problems???



Recommended Posts

OK, so hopefully someone here can let me know if this is a problem or something that will go away.

I just had my first fill Wed. of 2cc's (which seems like very little compared to what I was reading on here). My surgery was about 5 weeks ago.

I have been having problems iwth the liquids, soft foods, and now regular stuff today. I can barely eat anything (that is the point though!) but stuff I do eat feels like it gets stuck in my chest. Even drinking stuff feels like its in my chest for a couple minutes. I have thrown up very little a couple times and feel like I have heartburn or something when I lie down which is only relieved by the constant burping!!!

So, I am just wondering if this means it's too tight, or if this is normal and goes away in a couple days or something? Before I got the fill, I was able to eat a lot, had no restriction, so I find it kinda hard to believe that only 2cc's would cause all these problems?

Thanks guys for any help I really need it :closedeyes:

Sounds like you might be too tight.

Any fill of any amount can do this. I'm down to .25cc making the difference between "just right" and "too tight."

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
