Discomfort After Fill

[boymom2 17]

Hi guys,

Can you help me out with your experiences? I got my second fill last Wed. It was a little too tight afterwards so they took some out. I was on liquids for a few days, bit when I started eating food again I noticed when I swallowed my food I had a pain in my chest, almost a burning sensation. I wouldn't say it was excruciating, but it hurts I'm thinking maybe I'm still swollen? I take small bites and I always chew my food to mush. This happened yesterday with a small slice of cheese....advice?

Maybe eating too fast?

Can you eat Soups? Drink Water or shakes? Does it happen any time of day/

But it does sound like you're too tight. A small unfill might be necessary?

Some people have sensitive stomachs and sometimes it takes a while for the swelling to go down from a fill. You can do one of two things. You can either wait it out for a few more days and drink liquids or go get and unfill.

if you are getting fluids down I vote for letting things work themselves out. you go in for a fill but because you have a bit of discomfort you go and have a unfill you will never reach your green zone. sometimes it takes weeks to have your band cooperate with a fill. I go from liquids to mushies and solids back to mushies etc. for a couple of weeks I play this game. but being patient, angry and frustrated usually results in positive results. I haven't had to have 1 unfill.n be patient. and good luck

Yes, I can get liquids and Soup down....I have not pb or spit up at all. I eat salad with no issues, it's only everything else...lol. Last night I was awake with heartburn which I have never experienced.....ouch! I had split pea soup with ham for dinner which I've eaten a million times with no issues or heartburn....this gets so confusing I have no problem with waiting it out....I just don't want there to be anything wrong or something. I'm so paranoid about doing something wrong

Check with your doctor, a slight unfill might be in order.
