I really need to know if anyone has had this experience. I am 4 weeks out, and had a bad experience with a piece of bread. It got stuck, and I went through the whole pain, sliming, etc.... Learned my lesson about UNTOASTED bread, but the next morning started feeling sore, very sore, and it hurt to breathe! I called the nurse, and she asked if I had problems keeping things down, I told her I had a Protein Shake, and runny oatmeal with no problem. I asked about slippage, and she said NO! For me to come in tomorrow if it wasn't better. Next day, it was SOMEWHAT better but I was still sore. She made me come in and they took out what little saline I had in from the initial surgery (3cc). She couldn't find the port, so the Dr came in and jabbed around with the needle ALOT until he found it, sucked out all the saline, and today. I am STILL sore. It hurt to get down some pudding this morning (not bad, just feels bruised). I am worried that something major is going on, and of course, worst thing - slippage or need additional surgery.

Has anyone had this experience? Is the soreness today due to him jabbing around, on top of the problem I had earlier?

I just want to know if I'm alone on this. I'm very down and disappointed about this - I hope there's nothing wrong. Good news, I'm down 20 lbs since 12/31 (surgery date). Please help.........

You are doing really well at your weight loss. It's not unusual to be sore after a bad stick. Now you have to rest it and babY IT. sOON IT WILL FEEL BETTER AND YOU CAN GET ANOTHER FILL and start over. Good luck to you.

I'm no longer sore - they took all my saline out and low and BEHOLD - BURPS!!!!!!!! As soon as I began the "air burps"...I felt better almost immediately. Gas? How weird, but at least I'm better. I go for my "refill" on Monday - wonder if they will put the 3cc's back plus some or what? Anyone have a clue? Guess it depends on the dr.

Thanks!!!
