3Rd Fill And Bleching



Recommended Posts

Hi all. I received my 3rd fill this past Thursday. Since then I've had constant belching like bubbly feeling even without eating. I'm able to keep liquid down but I do get a little pressure. I've tried to eat mash potatoes and refried Beans, soft food and it comes up. At first I thought I just needed to give it a few days but could I be too tight???

Yes your probably too tight. I just had these same problems the other day after my 2nd fill. After my fill I sat in the waiting room drinking Water to make sure it could pass and I kept burping. Another patient looked at me and said your probably too tight have them take some out. I didn't listen and 2 days later I was right back in the office getting and unfill because I was miserable. I guess that other patient knew something I didn't know. They only took out .5 cc's but it made a world of difference.

Banded 6/25/12

Even .1 makes all the difference!! lol I've went up and down with my fills so many times. 4.4 was WAY too tight, now I 'm at 3.9 and pretty good restriction, but could probably go to 4.0 or 4.1. The teeniest tiniest unfill can really make a world of a difference!

I would give it a few days...I was in your shoes for a good week after full liquids now I feel great...a little belching but I tend to eat too fast and too big of bites.

I went from 4.5 cc to 5. I go back today to have an adjustment. The belching wont stop even in my sleep, and no soft foods so maybe I'll just have a little taken out. I was banded on April 30th and I've lost 57lbs. I'm still avergaging 10 lbs a month so I think taking a little out will be ok.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
