2nd fill today and heartburn/reflux..



Recommended Posts

Last month I got my first fill of 1 cc which brought me to 4 cc's total. For the first 5 or 6 days afterwards I had a lot of heartburn and reflux and then it went away. I didn't have it every time I ate, just sporadically throughout the day.

Now today I had 1 more cc added and I've got reflux and heartburn again. It's mild but it's definitely there. I'm on liquids for the next 24 hours. Should I just assume that for me it's normal to have reflux for a few days after a fill or what?

I drank Water at my appointment with no problem and I'm having no problem swallowing or keeping down liquids.< /p>

You probably have some swelling from the fill. It should subside in a few days. If it doesn't, I would call your doc. and let them know what's going on. Best wishes

I have the worst reflux after fills... I usually just take 2 zantac 75's and it helps it alot!

So how many fills have you had so far? Do you get the reflux every time?

It's annoying to me but since it's happened each time I'm guessing it's just a normal side effect, right?

Oh thank you girl! That is good to know! I just got a fill increase of .5 which brought me to 4cc. I have heartburn so bad right now and I have only had Water... Just a few sips.... I am going to try the Zantac 75. I appreciate that!

      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.
