Need Input! Chest Discomfort After Fill



Recommended Posts

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.

      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.
