After Fill- liquids barely going down

joe7777 · October 22, 2007

This was my 4th fill, so i should know this stuff by now, i think i'm posting just to hear what i want to hear...but here goes.

This is pretty much going like it has for the other fills, no worries right after, i could get my liquids down. Did 24 hours of liquids after the fill. THEN the day after that i could eat very little food...great. But then the day AFTER that....it got really tight, I'm PB'ing and sliming on everything solid (this happened before, i thought i would need an emergency unfill, but then went on liquids again for 24 hours and after i was good) Now i've had the same thing again, except now, even after all this, i'm still putting myself on liquids and i'm STILL sliming. So i got the fill wednesday afternoon, its now monday afternoon. How much longer should i wait to schedule a small defill.

I just had my 4th fill last Tuesday...yep, even liquids were tough at first and I still can't drink a lot at one time, BUT my food is going down fine at this point and has been since Thursday. SO, my advice would be to call and talk to the surgeon's office.

Yeah, the thing that sucks about fills is that they don't always kick in the day of the fill. You might get tighter or you might loosen up a bit. You should know by now when your fills kick in. Is it immediate? Mine kick in on day #3. Everyone is different.

You HAVE to stop barfing and if that means a slight unfill, do it. If you can't keep liquids down, you HAVE to get a slight unfill. Just don't stay too tight too long, you risk a slip or erosion.

If you feel that u need an unfill do it before you dehydrate it is no fun being dehydrated. I was so tight I couldn't get anything down not even Water. I was throwing up foam and bubbles. It was awful.
