thechatrooper 0 Posted November 19, 2005 I need some advice! I had a fill today- my first fill in 3 months. I had not had much restriction at all. My Dr put 2 mm in... I noticed after I left the hospital that just a bit of Water filled me up. I got home around 6 and drank a juice glass full of milk (juice glass = very small). Ever since then, I've been having these annoying air-bubble (mini burps) like CRAZY, every few seconds. Every time I drink a little Water, I burp more. I tried smoking a cigarette... poof... major burp attack. My burps have been going on for the past five hours, with a burp every few seconds. I don't have any pain or discomfort- aside from the fact that this constant burping is annoying. Is this a sign that I need to be unfilled a little? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the best me 6 Posted November 19, 2005 So you finally burped?! Don't you have a hard time burping? Ahhh, a good burp, nothing better! sounds like restriction to me. When I get full or a little stuck, I always feel better letting off a bit of a burp. It's a soft stop signal for me. I would be very careful and move very slowly...stay on liquids and see how you do. If you are a sweller, you may need another day or two before moving to mushies. Stay mushy until you are more comfortable there. Then move to food. If you have pain or discomfort, or are unable to keep small sips down (think post-surgery) then call your doc. Otherwise, as long as you stay on liquids you can make it through the weekend, I'll bet. Slow down. Too much in the funnel your band creates can be difficult going down. Welcome to restriction! Take it easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nykee 13 Posted November 19, 2005 I dont think so you dont have pain and you can keep down liquids.. it will be fine.. imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thechatrooper 0 Posted November 19, 2005 I wish I could get a good burp, lol. These are annoying little air bubbles in my throat. I don't know what else to call them, except mini burps. If I gag myself to burp, they stop for a few minutes, but come back. It just doesn't seem right that I'm having these miniburps literally every few seconds for 5 (going on 6) hours straight. =P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Connorsmom 1 Posted November 19, 2005 I had the same thing and I was too tight. I let it go for three weeks and in that time I puked everything I tried to eat and even liquids did not go down so great. I had 1cc of my 2.6cc fill removed and now I have no restriction and have gained back 5 lbs!! Waiting to go back and have some put back! I would wait a few days but if it is not better call your doc.

Parvathi 2 Posted November 19, 2005 When I get a good fill, I usually experience that for a few days until it 'settles in'. That said, its always such a fine line between good restriction and overfilled, that for me, its hard to tell the difference unless I get reflux (for me that's a sure sign I'm too tight). Last time I was overfilled, a mere 0.1ml taken out was enough to have me comforable again. Hope you're feeling better soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thechatrooper 0 Posted November 19, 2005 Thanks! It finally got unbearable because the burping led into pain, then into vomiting, so my mom paged the doctor and he met us up there. I had to get 1.5ccs taken out to feel better. He said that some people are just really sensitive... and like you said Parvathi, I guess there's a fine line for me. At least I feel better now! =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
La_madam 20 Posted November 19, 2005 Be careful, being filled too tight and having constant burping can lead to gastritis..I know. I have it! I burp little burps all day long. I'm problably going to be unfilled on Monday due to my gastritis. Do a search on gastritis on yahoo.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
