Help! What Should I Do?



Recommended Posts

Ok had another fill wed. I feel very swollen. Having a very hard time bit figured it will get better. I felt perfect my last fill. I don't know why he put more in. I eat a strawberry and now it's stuck! The pressure is Not so much on my chest as it is between my boobs. Should I try and get it up or it will eventually go down. I am not having major spit in my mouth but do have indigestion/burps that I can taste strawberry! I have a special wedding tot tonight and don't want to hurt myself! Advice please!!

If you didn't feel like you needed a fill, you should have told the doctor and not let him/her give you one.

That aside, you should not force any food back up. If it comes up naturally then it will.

Make sure you are standing up straight and try moving your arms in circles, walk around, to help it to go on through, works for me, it will take a few or more minutes. If all else fails, some say on here that pineapple juice helps with stuck episodes, but I have not tried this yet. Hopefully you don't bring it back up, but it may happen, I have not had this yet, but only on my second fill.

Also might want to double check with your doc on instructions of how to eat after a fill. My doc instructs that I can't have solid food until 4 days after a fill because of the possible swelling, I have to go through the process like after the surgery, but in 1 day intervals.

I thought he was just checking the level of fluid! I told him it felt perfect. I lost 11lbs for crying out loud!!

It will probably come up or go down. The important thing is you most likely irritated your esophagus and you should stay on liquids awhile.

Have a couple of questions. When was the fill? And how long after you ate did you try and drink your tea? If it has been in the last week you may have to just do Protein Shakes or mushy foods for a few days until the swelling and iritation goes down. I am very sensative to my fills. I have only had 3 in two years and I hate getting them because it takes me several weeks to adjust. If you can take in fluids you will be ok until Monday, if you are unable to take in fluids and are having reflux than you may need to call his service and see if they can see you in the emergency room.

      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
