Not having fun with my first fill



Recommended Posts

I have to say that I have been very uncomfortable with my first fill. I have a lump in my throat that wont go away. It feels like a snot ball. So I called the office and they said liquids for two days and see how I feel on friday. I might need to go in on Friday and have some taken out. So frustrated. They just make it seem like everything is so easy breezy and all I read about it problems people have. :(

Did the dr have you drink anything in the office? Mine got stuck on Water and he had to take out .5 cc. Since then I really have to slow down and chew a lot, otherwise everything but liquids get stuck.

Yes I drank some Water and it was fine felt normal. It wasnt until later that evening that it started bothering me.

I, too, have that strange throat ball thing....and then give a little burp...the PA backs off a tiny bit from there and then I am fine...it sounds like you need a very very tiny adjustment. You are wise to not "tough it out".

I am by far not on my first fill, surgery in 2003, but I am having the same symptoms this time around. I can only eat about every three days as it seems once I eat I get that lump in my throat feeling and sometimes can't even drink anything. Others have suggested drinking a hot liquid to help with any swelling, especially if you throw up any but even that doesn't help. I think I am in the same boat and am going to have to go back and get some Fluid taken out.

I am going in tomorrow to see what they say. I am going to push for them to take some out. Maybe just a tad and go from there.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
