PAIN AFTER FILLS... Anyone else?



Recommended Posts

Hi there,

I plan my fills very carefully.

Every time I have a fill, I must make sure I have at least 4 days off of work, but a week is better.

I have the fill on saturday, then late afternoon its getting sore, then by the evening its like bad muscle ache.

On sunday its DIABOLICAL. I am in bed, paracetamol wont touch it.

On Monday its terrible too, but by Monday evening I am gingerly getting up to watch TV or something.

tuesday its bad, but I am functioning. On Wednesday I am just about able to look after my house, chores and child.

Thursday I am mild pain, and any sudden jolts need to be avoided, but I can drive again.

Friday I am just really carful because the memory is still with me.

By Saturday its normally settled down.

Anyone else have this?

I have been haing a BAND NIGHTMARE.

I have had 8 fills, and I have lost 2 pounds. No restriction apart from the initial amount from the operation.

I have a 10ml band. I had fills with 1 doctor, but it seems he never did anything other than give me a load of expensive injections.

I changed doctors (after my one was sacked!!! looks good huh!) and Now I have had 5 mls with him. I should have 11mls in my 10 ml band. So you can see why I am cheesed off.

I had 1.75 mls put in on Saturday and I am now tuesday and feeling pretty rubbish but not as bad as I was.

I had to go to the doctor yesterday as my port scar swelled up and went red around the edges too. They gave me Flucloxacillin (500mg) 4 times a day.

Anyone else hating their band right now??

I am 8 months post operative and lost 20 pounds prior to June, but since then have been putting it on at a rate of 1 pound a week or so.

Feeling pretty rubbish right now

Banded by Dr. Dillemans in Bruges Belgium 14th february 2007

5 fills with Dr. Clayson in Tamworth (£375 in total);)

3 fills with Dr. Dovey in London Barnes (£270 in total)

Would love to hear from others banded in Bruge and possible those who were 'filled' by Clayson... or not as the case my be.:):mad::P:mad:

I think you really need to be checked out by a good Dr. Based on my experience and others your having too much pain. I have 7.6 cc's, banded 8/28/07 and had 2 fills with no pain. By your details please see a doctor.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
