Help - 3rd Fill



Recommended Posts

I went last Thursday for a fill and went from 4.5 to a 6 as I have not lost anything for the last 2 months. I have not eaten anything or even been able to keep down Water. Well, I suppose it would stay down if I did not feel I had to be sick to feel better. I have a constant like pain in the centre of my chest and I am just wondering if anyone can help me out. They did say to start slow and I have not had solid food at all. But, like if I have only had 2 tablespoons of a broth Soup and feel this feeling shoudl it go away in a few days..

Call you doctor. I just had my 4th fill and i can only sip about 1tbls at a time and I have to wait for it to go down. For 2 days after a fill, Clear Liquids only and sip. Then 2 days of full liquids and then 5 days of mushies. If you are having a real hard time sipping Water then you need to call you doctor.

melady you probably are too tight and need a small defill. Pain in the shoulders sometimes mean food is not chewed thoroughly enough and is remaining in the pouch. by having a defill for a short period of time, the food can pass through. Also, most successful weight loosers have a fairly loose fill. Everyone has their own sweet spot, but 6-8 ccs in a 10 cc band is fairly common. Hope this information may help.

It sounds like you need an un-fill. I had that problem and I couldn't hold down an liquid. Maybe you are eating things that are not agreeing with you. I get pains and discomfort by that. Hope you feel better soon

I have not been eating at all. All this is based on fluids, Soups, milk, Water, tea, even ice cream... nothing. I seem much better today with the fact that I believe it is gas related. I have so much gas that I can not keep something down. So, I have started my gas-x strips again and hope it works.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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