First fill help!?



Recommended Posts

So I had my first fill today! 3cc in my 10cc band! All morning I felt great! Before I left I made sure I could drink Water and it went down fine.... but now about 7 hours later I keep spitting up foam! And can't keep the water down! And not just a little foam/spit; I literally filled two empty water bottles because I had nowhere else to spit it! I'm so thirsty and just feel so much pressure, do I need to have some taken out!? Help!!

i had a fill last week felt same way lots of gas and water not going down easy... Try relaxing and drink sips no straws . If you are drinking to fast or gulping will do that .. If u still feel pressure call you doctor rite away.. Good luck

Try chewing on small ice chips. The ice slowly melts and the cold may help reduce some of the swelling and allow the melted ice Water to drip through.

It's been a rough night trying to keep Water down, ice was a little better. I'm going to try some hot tea this morning and see if that has any luck. Otherwise I'm just going to have to have them adjust my fill before the start of the weekend.

I found hot herbal tea sipped slowly helped me considerably in the early days, intermingled with sucking on small ice cubes.

If this issue continues for sure contact your Doc.

Good advice. Athletic trainers use this technique for reducing inflammation on muscle groups. They even have machines they call icy/hot machines that alternate every 15-20 minutes cold and hot Water running though hoses and wrapped around a leg or shoulder.

Well I couldn't keep anything down so I called my doctor and they had me come in immediately to remove 1cc. So I'm at 2 cc and I feel a million times better! On the bright side to all of this I'm down 3 more lbs! I guess my body wasn't ready for such a large fill.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
