Symptoms of an overfill?



Recommended Posts

Hey guys. I just got my third fill yesterday. He put in 1 cc, so I'm up to 3.4 cc's. He told me to gulp the water.. so I did. It didn't feel to bad, but after I left, I had the feeling I needed to throw up. So I didn't drink anything for a few hours. Then I drank a few tiny sips of some juice, hoping it would make me feel better... Well, about an hour later I threw up foam. I didn't want to try anything else for a while, just in case. Then I started slowly sipping some lemonade, and that seemed to go down fine. Well, last night, I felt like I couldn't lay all the way down... I just had a feeling, I'm not sure how to explain it, just felt like i was going to throw up so I used a huge pillow that propped me up. Well all through out the night I kept waking up coughing just as soon as I fell asleep. I felt like I was throwing up, not realizing it and it would go down my trachea. It hasn't happened since I've been awake, and I haven't drank anything more out of fear than anything. I'm not sure if this is an overfill or what. anyone had the same issues? I'll call my doc as soon as they open... I'm just curious if anyone has any ideas? Or is it just the swelling of my stomach?

Definitely sounds like an over-fill to me. Make sure you both call your docs ASAP. You don't want to become dehydrated.

      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.
