Fill Too Tight or just swellling?



Recommended Posts

I got my third fill yesterday and I am not sure if I am too tight or if its just swelling. I am burping constantly and still feel uncomortable right where the band is. I feel better today than yesterday, but didn't know if I should be feeling this way at all. On the plus side, I am not hungry at all (finally) and I drank a muscle milk light and it went down fine, just burped a lot (but I have been burping since I got the fill). Although I had to drink it really slow. I don't want to get an unfill, if it's just swelling, but then again, It's a holiday weekend, and I don't want there to be a problem and not be able to get in to see the doctor. I havent felt this kind of restriction before, which I kind of like, but I hate the uncomfortableness and tightness that I am feeling right now. It has gotten better from yesterday, at least there was some improvement. I don't want to mess it up if this is my sweet spot but just not giving it time to settle. you know?

My advice is since it's getting better, I would wait out the weekend. Stick to liquids if you are feeling really tight. Call Tue. morning if your not better. Best wishes.

I agree with vlp. At least you can get Protein shakes in..slowly. If you couldn't do that then I would say go get an unfill immediately but you can survive a weekend on shakes for sure.

Best wishes!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
