Fill after 2 years.

[Binx125 15]

Hi all,

I had a fill today. First in 2 years. Apparently I have a 10ml ring and I'm at 6ml today.

Came home, had some drinking yogurt. Took me about 30 mins to drink 150ml, tried coffee a while later, not much luck.

My esophagus has a bubbly sensation and is making funny noises.

Will this go away? Will die of embarrassment in public. Dreading solids if this is how I react to liquids.

Doc is so far. Only three in the country

I do let everything rest for a day or two.

For me, if liquids are difficult and I haven't had solids beforehand ... I am considering a small unfill.

Once my band is irritated, nothing works but Protein Drinks or bars for a day or so. Then I ease into food

Let us know. And best of luck...

Ps where are you located w/ 3 Drs doing fills??

Thanks Julie, will give the liquids a day or two and hope for the best.

I'm in South Africa. We have 9 province of which only 3 have bariatric surgeons.

Where in SA are you? I had to have unfill and desperately need to start over, petrified I am going to gain, my loss has been so slow!

I get that bubbly sensation if I am too full! I'm in PE so doctors are very far away!

Hi Jimpal, so happy to hear from a fellow South African. That's exactly what I did so I drove all the way to get a fill. Still regretting it a bit, so full and sore. If you feel the device grinding your guts it's terrible.

As far as I know they Only have surgeons in CT, PTA and Benoni.

My doctor is in Joburg, but I have a nurse here who does my fills. Had 3,5 done today and feel a bit bubbly too! Liquids for me today

Lucky you. Went to the GP, he stuck me so many times without success so I have to drive through to doctor tomorrow. Ugh.

Wishing you luck xx

Went to the doc again today. He removed 1.5 ml. The pain went away immediately.

Ugh but now I only have a 0.5ml fill which will probably not make much of a difference.

I'm in Krugersdorp.
