Pain after fill



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill on Saturday. It didn't hurt very bad at the time. However, since last night I've been having pain near where the port is. It feels like muscle pain, kind of like after surgery. When I sit up or stand up it hurts, and it also hurts when I bend over. Is this normal, or should I call my surgeon?

Yes it's normal. You'll experience pain in that area from time to time. Just keep taking it easy and following your doctor's orders. Continued success

I had a fill 3 weeks ago and had that pain. Went away after 3 days. But very painful!

I had my first fill today. I have pain up toward the top of my right side. I feels like when you get a catch. Is this from the fill as well or just a coincidence?

I've never had pain like that after a fill. I've had 3 fills. I'd call the office before the holiday weekend starts.

I agree with justwatchme! Call the dr. It's a long weekend. I had my first fill two days ago. Yesterday around the port area it felt like I had done too any crunches. Today that's gone and no pain or discomfort at all. Good luck!

Do you think it's just because of the injection? Just curious, I have my first fill next Tuesday and not sure what to expect, although I realize everyone is different.

It could be from the injection. Everyone reacts differently. I was actually more nervous about the fill then I was the surgery!! For me all I felt was some pressure from the RN palpating the area to find the port. I couldn't believe how easy it was: ). I found out I have a 10 cc band and was given 4.5 ccs Wednesday. I go back next Thursday for another one. You will do great!!:):)

The pain is gone now. I think I really just had a catch in my side but I was not sure. Thanks for the advice.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
