Fill 12-1, Is this normal?



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill on 12-1, and my right side just below my ribcage is sore. Not really painful, but sore. I am able to eat and drink fine. I think it is where my band is. Drs office doesnt seem concerned. :cursing: Anyone had a bit of discomfort there after a fill? He put 3cc in a 10 cc band. Don't feel much restriction yet. Thanks for your advice. Kelli:teeth_smile:

I am a little sore after fills. My doctor's office numbs me so I don't feel the fill, but the next day it is a little uncomfortable.

I could be wrong but I think your band is center of your rib cage,to the right would be your gallbladder and liver.I had some

pain there once to and I noticed my gallbladder was kinda hard too,but it pasted.If it dont pass and gets more sore or painful I would ask my PC because many lose their Gallbladder after Lap Band.

I don't have a gallbladder anymore it's been gone for 3 years. Dont' think its related to that. I almost think that it is restriction. I don't have soreness or tenderness unless I eat something solid. My surgeon looked at it when I was in on Monday and didnt seem concerned at all. I have to go to my family doc this week for my annual. I am going to ask her to double check. Thanks for the responses. Kelli

It's all coincidental about losing your GB from the Lapband....another false tale for the insurance companies...hence not wanting to cover Lapbanders!! GB is common with actual gastric by-passers.

I'm not tending to shame anyone here except the insurance "IDIOTS" who aren't knowledged about the band!!

Anyways, I too am sore a day after fills...around my port area. I've had 3 diff people do my fills and it hasn't mattered.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
