New to site Fill question



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 11/18/09 and had my first fill on Tuesday the 29th. I got 4cc's. Since then, I have not been able to keep anything down. The day of the fill I was ok. I could drink just fine. My doc has me on 2 days of liquid and 2 days of puree then onto soft foods after a fill , so I didn't have a problem at the time. Well, since then I have been unable to keep anything down. I have been very burpy evertime I try to eat or drink and most of the time I my burbyness is a prelude to throwing up.

When I am not trying to eat or drink I am fine. I have had no issues with my saliva going down.

Does this mean I need to have some Fluid removed or am I experiencing swelling related to the fill? And will it get better in a few dasy after the swelling goes down? I really have no idea and of course we are on a holiday weekend so my doc isn't around.

Any ideas??????:biggrin:

You could still be swollen or you may be too tight - can't you call your doc's exchange and get some taken out...

I'm lucky I have my doc's cell # in case of an emergency

If you can't drink - then I would call immediately - you have to be able to drink liquids. If you can't call first thing tomorrow.. Pbing isn't good for your band..

Stick w/liquids till you get a hold of your doc..

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
