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);)

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
