Still learning....

[msredytr 0]

It has been almost 4 months since my surgery & overall I feel incredibly fortunate to have had this procedure, and have adjusted well. I have had very good weight loss and feel so much better....

However, I am am confused about fills!

I had my first fill just about three weeks after surgery.. and within three days had to have half of it taken out. I was so uncomfortable. Second fill, about 5 weeks after that went fine. Third fill was yesterday. I drank the Water exactly as instructed while in doctor's office. No problem. Drank another couple bottles of water during the rest of the day, without any problem. Had a bit of broth yesterday evening, and that seemed to go fine. But over the course of the evening-- and overnight-- I started to feel increasingly uncomfortable. Throughout the night, burping, hiccuping, and spitting up.

Now 24 hrs after the fill I still don't feel good. I am afraid to even drink anything. Is there that much swelling that goes on after a fill? Will this subside? Do I need to get an unfill? And if so, how do I manage thru the snowstorm until doc is back in his office? Any tips for managing this?

Well, I know that you should NOT be as uncomfortable as you are saying you are.

I also think that you SHOULD try to keep something down, because as horrible as this sounds theres a possiblity that it is all in your head, because your other fill freaked you out so much.

So, I think overall you should try to drink some water... slowly.

You should call your doctors office, and let them know what is going on.

I know I was always scared to call my doctors office because I felt like I was 'bugging' them.

your NOT going to bug them. that is what they are there for, to help.

That is my advice, I hope you start to feel better!!!
