First Fill Discomfort



Recommended Posts

I've just received my first fill. Doc put 4 cc at surgery & put .5 cc as my first fill. I asked him to go easy because i didnt want the chance of being overly tight when i know he & staff will be off for the thanksgiving holiday. I've lost 15lbs since surgery a little less than four weeks ago. My question is... My port area is still giving my discomfort, even more since I was filled. Is this normal? Seems like the port sits right where I bend. I can't seem to get comfortable, good thing I can where dresses because wearing pants just kills me!!

Hi I had mine done 4 weeks now. Had a filled already on Tuesday, It's giving me discomfort only when bending down, not that much as when I had surgery. If you have discomfort all the time and 4weeks already check it out.

Port area is slow to fully heal. If you are concerned ask the doctor about it!

Hi you are still fresh out. Just take it easy and nooo jeans. I wore dresses for a couple weeks. Your port area will be sensitive as it is setting into your tissues so that it stays in place. You will be ok. Congrats on the 15lbs!

      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.
