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..

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
