Is my fill too tight??? I can't sleep at night!



Recommended Posts

<p>I went in May to get a fill and I ended up getting an un-fill because the doctor said that my esophagus was irritated and the I was really tight, I didn’t feel like I was tight but that weekend I went to Vegas and drank, drank and drank which I think caused the inflammation, I was at 2.2 and they left me at 1.5 the doctor told me to go back in 6 weeks so I decided to go back 11 weeks later instead that way I give my self a chance to get better, last Thursday (7/11) I went to get a fill and the doctor told me once again that my esophagus was irritated and he didn’t want to give me a fill, finally after I talked to him and explained how I can eat anything with no problem he told me he would give me a very small fill and that I would have to follow his rules so he did give me a very small fill (from 1.5 to 1.8) and told me to take Prilosec 2 times a day for 7 days and to stay on liquids for 3 days, well I stayed on liquid for 4 days and have been very cautious about what I try to eat, yesterday (Monday) was the first day that I tried to eat and I could get very little down, know that’s not a problem because I started my period yesterday and I always tend to be tighter on that time of the month I figure I can stay on soft foods and liquids for a few more days, my problem since Saturday has been that when I lay down to go to bed I wake up chocking on what seems to be Water or something like that and it even comes out of my nose, I don’t eat at least three hours before bed and I have been doing mainly liquids but I am not sure what it can be. I even started taking the liquid Olive Era to help with the healing. Has anyone else experienced this before??? May I be too tight?? Would this .3 fill make that much difference???? I need help!</p>

sounds like you need to contact dr. RIGHT AWAY! waking up choking with liquid coming out of your nose could lead to serious emergency. call dr. TODAY--and go in.

do you have gastric reflux? (that's what prilosec is for). were you evaluated for a hiatal hernia?

call the dr and go see him!!

please let us know what happened!

best wishes,

The reason why it comes out of my nose is because I am asleep and when I start coughting instead of coming out of my mouth it just comes out through my nose and the Prilosec is to treat the irriated esophagus. I had never had anything like this happen before and I have never had gastric reflex.

Yes, You need the fill reduced or taken out, I had a fill put in and when I went to sleep, made a mistake in drinking a little Water 1hr before bedtime, I felt it girgling for hours, felt like water in my throat, my nurse said don't drink anything, but when I lay down it happend all the time, I had 1/2 cc removed, made all the difference, do not live with the pain or irritation, you will know when you are ready, don't be in discomfort, just take it a little along, I find that it takes time to slowly lose weight, its better for you that way, so don't get to much to quick
