third fill = big pain!!!



Recommended Posts

For my first two fills, they couldn't have possibily gone more smoothly. They were each 1cc. This morning, I had a third cc injected, and I'm in a LOT of pain right now. Can anyone offer any possible explanation for this????

What kind of pain? Pain in your port?Pain when you eat or drink?

If it is pain when you eat or drink, it could be ytou are overfilled. Please be more specific so we can help you :rolleyes:

How strange, yes, please give more explanation as to what kind of pain you're in. I get dizzy after a fill for about 8 hours, but never have pain.

The only reason I can think of is maybe you swelled more with this fill? If you're still in pain, call the surgeon.

No, the pain is not near my port and doesn't seem to be caused by eating, although maybe aggravated slightly by eating. The pain feels like it's right where the band is. It's like a dull, but very persistant pain that is relieved somewhat if I lay down on my back. I'm sure it must be swelling. I'm just so surprised that after my first two fills, I wouldn't feel a thing, but after this one, i'm in quite a bit of pain....

Ouch! Make sure you are only doing liquids for a couple days, to let the swelling subside. I would think if you do that, then go to mushies that are easy to digest for another 2 days...and you are not seeing an improvement, you should call your doctor and have this checked out.

Krystal, call your doc. This doesn't sound normal to me.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
