I had my surgery on June 21st 2012 and Just had my thrid fill on January 2nd. Now being 7 days out from that fill. I am having different issues and do not know if this is restriction or if I am a little too tight. When I had my fill last week, I was able to eat small bits and drink, but now that it has been 7 days I am expericencing changes.

In the mornings, I have always been tight, but now since my Jan 2nd fill I cannot drink hardly anything. I can only drink tiny sips and takes about an hour for 4 ozs of liquid to go down. it feels like it is in my throat forever. I also gurgle and PB a lot more So I cannot eat anything for Breakfast.< /p>

When I eat lunch I can only eat about 1/2 cup of salad and it takes me an hour to eat that.

for dinner I am starting to get tight again and can only consume like lunch about 1/2 a cup of food taking another hour to consume.

I am not hungry between meals, but starting last night I have been PB'ing a lot more and a lot of acid has been coming up. It kept coming up it all night. I have not been weak and I am able to eat some.

AM I too tight or am I finally feeling restriction???

Does sound like you might need a slight unfill. Remember we're not really suppose to take1hr to eat, just 20min.

Call your Dr, please!

sounds like you are to tight - I had surgery the day after you and am on fill 6 and have fairly good restriction and never had that happen before.

I would suggest calling your doctor and get small unfill. You should not be PBing all the time especially not at night.

Take care.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
