To tight



Recommended Posts

Ok guys I'm needing some help! I love in oklahoma I drove to Dallas today to get a fill, I haven't had one in over a year ! I had 6cc in there (shocking to me) he first started with 3 which made me have 9 watched me through fluro and keep dropping it finally leaving at 1.8 added!

My fluids went down great and I felt great! Leaving Dallas I stopped and got a Gatorade from about decator on I started pbing! Three hours later I get home and still can't drink anything! Should I give it a day or two or find someone here to take some out? Like I said sat in his office at least twenty min we both saw my Fluid go straight In GREAT , now this :( long drive to get .2 takin out.

Are you holding down your own saliva? If not, go get an unfill asap. Just 24 hours of not being able to swallow your own saliva can cause significant and dangerous dehydration.

If you can hold down your own saliva then it might be that you drank the gatorade too fast, it made you PB and now it's caused your stoma to swell. What worked for me was sipping on pineapple juice (for some reason this would 'sit' even if Water or hot tea didn't) and not doing anything to throw up again and usually it settled enough to have mushies within 24 hours. If you keep pbing, you're going to keep irritating the stoma, so slow and steady. If you don't feel any better tomorrow despite not pbing anymore, then in my opinion, you're over-tight and will need an unfill.

Thank you so much for responding so fast! It's so hard to tell if I'm keeping my saliva down because after the Gatorade I have just been miserable! I prob did drink it to fast, going a yr with no fill I forgot till I had already did it. :(. I'm going to try pineapple and pray that helps a lil and that I just irritated it!! I pray!! Thanks again

When I wasn't holding down my saliva, I was pretty much throwing frothy, colorless liquid back up every 10 - 15 mins for 24 hours. You can't miss it if that's what you're doing.

Take it easy, corilyn, and I hope you feel better soon.

So you were able to drink liquids with no problem before you left the Dr.'s office?

Then later...it became difficult to do so...when the welling started? Si when the swelling goes down you won't have a problem anymore?

At least I think I understand the situation..(?)

      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
