Fill too Tight?



Recommended Posts

:help: I had my second fill about 2 months ago. When I eat I get the slime in my mouth for about 15 min. It is very annoying it doesn't happen evey time but alot of the time. Is anyone else familiar with this. I'm trying to decide on an unfill or not my weight hasn't changed much since my fill. I read about this awhile ago but it didn't concern me at the time. Now I'm going through it and need some input

Thank You,

Becky:confused: :confused:

I don't have any experience with this (yet) but could you explain what you mean by slime in your mouth?

I went to the dentist yesterday and she said I salivated a lot more than the normal person (it's like a fountain in there!) and I wonder if this has something to do with the surgery...

I had the same problem after my second fill. I was OK for the first couple of weeks then slimming and then I got to the point that I could only get liquids down. I was too tight. Don't let it get to that point. On the other hand are you drinking something warm before your meal? Small bites? And Chewing about 30 times? If you are doing all of those things you could be too tight and I would try a bit of an unfill. Good luck.

Thanks for your input. Today I tried drinking a bit of Water after I ate, so far nothing today. Slime, seems to be your mouth produces lots of saliva in your mouth but it is slimey not just saliva:clap2:

I am having a similar problem. Yesterday I got sick twice after eating soft foods. My doctor said that it should get better, we'll see. I haven't had a slime problem unless something truly gets stuck, then it's a big issue. Good luck :eek:

you shouldnt be sliming on a daily basis. sometimes but not daily!

i would try the warm liquids to help 'lube' you. also the food you are eating may need to be 'dipped' in something saucey, also like the other poster said make sure you are chewing the HECK out of your food. whatever you are doing now add abouit 10- 15 more chews. if you are still sliming after all that then maybe ask for a .1 unfill.

you want to be able to eat comfortably at every meal. but you also want the portions to be under control!

Shelly thank you for your info, I'm going to try the warm liquid. I have been chewing pretty good. It is so funny how some does fine and other days not so good. I'm going on vacation next week and was trying to decide to get an unfill or not. I don't want to go to diner and have to hang out in the bathroom all night. Thank again, and good look to you

Becky :)

I recently had more fill put in under fluoroscopy (I'm at 1.5 cc's) and yesterday when I ate I'd feel the golf ball sensation going down, salivate like crazy, then vomit only my saliva/slim/whatever nastiness you wanna call it.

What am I doing wrong? What should I be eating right now? I need pointers.

        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.

      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
