Need Input! Chest Discomfort After Fill

[Crazy4MyK9 0]

Has anyone had chest discomfort after a fill?

I had a 1 cc fill on Friday morning, which took me to somewhere between 8.5 - 9 cc. I've been having a lot of chest discomfort all day today. I sent an e-mail to my doctor, and he'll get back to me within a couple of days. If I have to, I'll call the office on Monday to schedule an appt to get some of this taken out. I'm disappointed, but maybe I need a little taken out. I've never had chest discomfort with other fills.

Thanks,

Anne

Have you tried the gas-x strips? Sounds like that might help. That recently happened to me and it was gas.

Hi jaliani,

Thanks for your reply. No, I didn't think of it as being gas. I assumed it was maybe related to irritation, or taking my meds and the new restriction level. Today (Sunday) was much better; although, I didn't take my meds. I'll see how it goes tomorrow morning. My doctor responded to my e-mail and told me to give it some time. As long as I'm not bringing up saliva, and getting down liquids, he's not concerned. I was able to eat and drink today with no problem.

Congratulations on your weight loss!!! Do you have any words of wisdom from your success?

I know that I fell back into poor habits these past 6 months, and because of this, I didn't lose weight. I'm getting back on track and changing my mind set. I finally found an exercise that I'm committed to -- Water aerobics! My only struggle now is the sweets. I'm working on it everyday. It's getting better through personal strength, support, and prayer. My doctor also warned me about eating too much. He doesn't want me in the habit of "stacking" too much food in the esophagus. For instance, I told him that I could eat a whole turkey wrap with no discomfort whatsoever. Otherwise, I got hungrier in a short amount of time. I need to get back to eating slower and eating less.

Thanks again.
