Killer Acid Reflux-after My Fill



Recommended Posts

I went back for another fill, thinking that I didn't have any restriction since my fill last week, and so I drove out to Miami again and got another .75cc's so I'm up to 2.75cc's. Well anyways, I don't feel like I'm too restricted but I made the mistake of eating posole (Any Mexicans out there will now what I'm talking about) its a shredded pork stew, with hominy corn that is really spicy cause of all the ancho & chilli peppers I put in it. It was really good, knowing that I had just been filled I ate the broth only, well I woke up in the middle of the night, with it coming back into my throat. It was so gross and hurt. I stayed up all night with this heartburn that is killing me, I finally just sat up in bed and slept that way, cause everytime I layed down it would come back up. I feel horrible. It has been all day and I'm still burping it and can't get rid of the hurt. Do you think the fill has aggravated my acid reflux??? I am so miserable, I had brocalli n cheese Soup for lunch and had no problems, but I can't get rid of this acid that is killing away at me.. Any ideas??? Has anyone ever had such a problem after a fill. I don't think I'm overfilled since I have been able to eat without a problem. Oh God, I hate this. Well if you have any advice, please share.

Bella,

The same exact thing happened to me two weeks ago. I had my 6th fill, bringing me up to 2.8cc ina 4cc band. Well, beginning the night I had the last fill, I would wake up with vomit (sorry, I know, too descriptive) in my mouth. This went on all night as soon as I laid down. Well, the next night I took Maalox and prevacid before bed. Same thing, just less acid for the next two nights. Finally, after not sleeping four nights in a row, I went back to the doc and had .04 cc removed. I have been sleeping like a baby ever since. It sounds exactly like me-you are overfilled. Even though you can eat fine during the day, don't let that fool you !!! I should have listened to everyone's advice, but I guess I had to see for myself. GO get yourself some relief-get unfilled !

I got bad reflux after one of my fills. I was the same, I was eating normally so didnt think I was overfilled. I tried all things suggested on here like not eating after 5pm etc and they helped a little. I went back and seen my Dr and he gave me some meds to take for it and I have not had it since....not at all. I hope you work it out as I know how painful it can get.

Good Luck

Girl,

Im here to tell you - CALL YOUR DOCTOR NOW!

Get some of that fill taken out so you can get some rest. Reflux is a BAD thing anyway you look at it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
