Too tight-NEED ADVICE



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I had my 5th fill today, and went from 5cc to 6cc (10cc band). I had very little if any restriction before, and now...

Dr. had me drink Water after fill, went down fine, when I got home 30 min later, i had more water and it came up, but I felt ok.

then this evening, I had a couple sips of ice tea and I have been hiccuping and sliming and PBing foam (saliva?)

I would like to wait this out and see how I do for the next few days, but if this keeps up throughout the night, I've got a problem.

should I call the doc tonight? I know I can get in tomorrow if I need to.

thanks!:tt2:

I would wait until tomorrow morning. First thing in the morning, drink something hot and see how it goes. If it doesn't go well, call the doctor early and see if you can get in.

If it doesn't feel better by the end of the day, I would get an un-fill. I had the same thing happen 2 times and I just needed a tiny un- fill. You don't want to be too tight for too long- it can cause erosion.

Good luck!

      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?

      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.
