Freaked out about 1st fill



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone I just had surgery on the 15th of Sept. Everything went great I healed well pain wasn't to bad and I've lost about 10lbs with out trying ;-) not to mention I love love love my surgeon.However I just had my first fill about 2days ago and it felt soooo nasty....weird its really hard to explain the sensation when pressure is applied to ur port. But anyway my question is has anyone had a fill and had bleeding and then soreness @ the port site there after? And when I say bleeding I don't mean an out pour but enough to raise an eyebrow. Pls let me know that way I could mentally prepare myself for the next one.

Yeah the bleeding is normal as is the soreness. In fact I sometimes get bruising a few days later. As far as the feeling of the fill goes now that you actually have fill in your band it won't feel as odd next time. Not sure how much of a fill you had gotten but I know my second fill I didn't really even feel. So glad that you are on your way to being a healthier and happier person.

I had my first fill on monday and it felt so weird too! Also my port had flipped so when he went to give me a fill he had to flip it over. I was definitely sore Monday and yesterday. And where he poked me with the needle it bled and was swollen... Almost like a mosquito bite.

It's good to know someone else thought it felt odd when they got their first fill. It was this weird squishy pressure... I don't even know how to explain it. Haha

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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!
