Why does it seems like the more I drink the more my body becomes swollen.? I can't take this anymore

[Krussell19 217]

Has the doc said anything about why this is still occuring? I would think things would have started to turn for the better

Hello krussell! My primary wants me to have a venous Doppler done as well as an chest X-ray and a X-ray of my abdominal. The Fluid seems to be going and coming on yesterday I drink a lot of Gatorade and Water and by the time I got home I was swollen again. I just want to get back to my size 2 weeks ago. This makes me not want to ever get my band unfilled.

I completley understand ive had 3 emergency unfills that all lead to even more problems then I had before the unfill.

I hope they figure it out so you cam have some relief!!

I had my band unfilled last week also and now I am suffering from bloating' date=' pain all over my stomach, excessive burping. I feel as if my stomach is swollen but can't really tell. Are you having pain with the swelling?[/quote']

I had my first fill last week and also have had excessive burping. What causes this

Hi Sommers, Yes I experience a lot of pain especially in my lower legs. But for some odd reason the pain started in my buttocks. It's been a week now the pain is gone but my stomach and legs are still swollen.
