Stuck After Fill....ughhh!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone...

I had my surgery on April 16, 2012. I am down 37 pounds. On Wednesday October 10th I had another fill...this makes my 4th. Not sure how many cc's because my Doctor doesn't seem to share. Anyway, in the morning I am very tight...which I am used to but I am having a lot of trouble with foods that I have had an easy time with in the past. Such as, egg salad, steamed moist chicken, and even yogurt. Is this normal? Can it be that fickle? I am getting hungry alot but the stuck episodes really hurt and slow me down.....

ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GRATEFUL!!!!

I just had this happen last week. I was banded in January and I am down 67lbs with 13 more to go. I have not had to have very many fills. I got on on July 3rd and did not have another one until last week. I did ok for a couple of days. I really couldn't eat much either. By Sunday I was having a lot of pain. I went back yesterday and he took some out. He said it was just too tight. I feel much better today but am still on liquids. I thought I had something stuck but he said it was just my esophugus was irritated due to the band being too tight. Hope this helps

You might need some Fluid taken out, ask your doc how much fluid is there. Your body, your band, your business. ;)

      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.
