Pain after a fill



Recommended Posts

Hi!

I got my second fill last Thursday and was wondering if anyone else has experienced pain every time food passes through their band. At first even liquid hurt, now liquids are ok, but anything solid isn't. I'm trying to hold out and hope that things will improve so that I dont have to go back and have an unfill. Occasionally after the 3rd or 4th bite it improves, other times I have to stop eating all together. Has anyone had this, heard of this or have any advice?? I'd really appreciate any help you can give me!

Thanks!

Chewing could be a road-block. Make sure you are chewing well, so the food is almost liquid in your mouth b4 swallowing. That's all I can think of... other than you may be too tight and need an unfill.

I would call my doctor. I had pain last month about 2 weeks after a fill. I had something stuck and it turned into a nightmare. You may need a slight unfill.

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
