I can BARELY drink liquids after my 3rd fill, is this normal???



Recommended Posts

I just went to the Dr. yesterday and had my third fill to almost 8c.c. By the time I got to the car I was already vomiting up the spit I was unable to swallow. It has been done now for over 24 hours and I have only consumed about 12 ounces of Water. Is this normal or should I call the Dr??? Thanks!!!!:smile2:

TELL the Dr. ASAP. Don't do like I did a few days ago & end up dehydrated & in ER. I was instantly better when Dr. got out of surgery & UNfilled me just 1/2 cc. Doesn't sound like it makes that much difference...but in me, it did. Spent a most miserable 24 hrs, not wanting to bother the Dr. Not supposed to be uncomfortable...and in this heat wave we're in...can get dehydrated very quickly. Good Luck to U...and let us know what you end up doing. Dr. said it's called "pooling in your esophogus"...and will only get worse without intervention from him.

Call your doctor!

It may be as simple as removing .2 ccs to get you able to drink. I was extremely tight after my third fill and could no longer guzzle Water. Had I been unable to drink at all I would have called the doc immediately.

Has it gotten any easier since you posted this? As the swelling goes down, it should loosen up a little.

You are definitely too tight. You don`t want to suffer unnecessarily. I should know. Please go for unfill.

Thanks for the replies, I actually ended up going to pittsburgh late lastnight to Magee Womens hospital and the on-call surgeon toke out 4 c.c. I felt soooo much better. It was getting to the point where I was barely able to swallow my saliva and I halso had heartburn. My daughter and I went to Kings and I had a huge salad!!! I wasen't quite sure why he took out 4 c.c b/c the Dr had only put in 1 1/2 c.c when I was there on Friday but at that point I diden't care. It took my band from 8c.c to 4c.c. I have another Dr's appt on Aug 23rd so im sure she willl adjust it as need be. I got home about 230 am but I felt alot better. This is very nice to know that this web=page is out there, im very glad I found it, and thanks again for commenting it made me feel alot better. I will post some updates soon. THANKS!!!!!:smile2:

      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.
