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."

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
