Hi! So I got my second fill yesterday and I can tell it's a lot tighter than my first. I'm noticing today that I'm a little gassy/bloated. I'm wondering if it could be related to the fill? If anyone has any insight about this please let me know! If it continues tomorrow I will probably call my doctor and let them know but it's after business hours now. Thanks!

I feel bloated for a day or 2 after a fill. My bra even feels tight. I still don't have restriction after 4 fills

yep, try a tums and see if that helps...mushie or liquid for a day or two should do it.

I just got my second fill yesterday. I keep sliming every thirty minutes to an hour. Can't keep anything down. I been taking chewable aspirin hoping it will reduce the swelling in my stomach. Anyone ever experienced anything like this? Any suggestions?

I found that after every fill I had to relearn how to eat, as in taking much smaller bites otherwise I'd get that awful sliming which the body produces to help push the food through the banded area.

If you have some swelling try doing liquids for a day or two then softer foods then reintroduce your solids. That will give everything time to settle down. If you are still having problems keeping anything down then I'd call your aftercare team.

If you can't keep liquids down then I would suggest going to your doctor as soon as possible. I agree with the person who replied before me, you definitely have to remember to chew, probably even more then you used to with just one fill because obviously your band is even tighter. Good luck! Hope you stop sliming soon!

Thanks I went and got some taken out today. I was severely dehydrated to the point I lost 10 pounds from Monday to today. Feeling back to myself now though. I appreciate the advice :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
