Weird Sensation After A Fill



Recommended Posts

I went in for a fill today and everything was fine all day.... A little while ago I had something (can't remember what) and got this weird sensation in the middle of my chest (kinda between my b@@s)

Just now, I took 1/2 of a sleeping pill with some cold tea and I feel the same sensation. It's like a burning sensation... But not of "fire", its more like what you feel when you eat a York Peppermint patty.

Has anyone felt this after a fill? There's no pain, and it doesn't really bother that much. It's just WEIRD.

Your band is in the middle of your chest, so if you got a fill today, it's probably swelling....cold tea will further tighten the band too.

Things to look for after a recent fill is reflux and extreme heartburn or burping are signals that you are too tight or something is wrong, and obviously vomiting.

If you were able to get down cold tea, you are probably good to go, I would take it easy and make sure my sips of liquids are very teeny and not gulping.

And again, if you continue to have uncomfortable sensations call your surgeons office.

If it were me, I would not drink cold liquids along with pills, I made that mistake a few years ago and the cold Water tighten my band and the pill got stuck and I ended up in the ER from work, I will never do that again as long as I have a band.

Yes this is typical for me 5-6 days after a fill.

After about a week or so after a fill i can swallow any Vitamin with cold or hot beverages and i feel nothing at all.

Let your doctor know if this feeling doesnt go away after awhile.

If it doesnt you may have very well reached the Green Zone.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
