Too much fill!!!!!



Recommended Posts

I went in for my 3rd fill 2 weeks ago and he put 1cc in a 12cc band. I drank some Water before I left and it gurgled just a little and the nurse asked if I felt ok and I said I guess so, and I left. I went home and tried to have a cup of Soup and it wouldnt go down. nothing would go down. the doctor was going to be out of town until after thanksgiving and the nurse said as long as I could drink, I would be ok until he returned. well, after vomiting over 50 times that week, I started seeing blood, so I went to the emergency room, I was dehydrated and had to have an iv and after lots of research(about 2 hours) the er doc decided to try to give me an unfill. 20 pokes later he gave up and the nurse finally found the port and took out 1cc. instant relief. I have another fill scheduled for 12-22 and believe me when I say, i'm not walking out that door unless i'm positive everything is working the way it should. I wouldnt wish that kind of misery on anyone!!!!!:tongue2:

Oh my goodness. I am so glad you are doing better. That must have been horrible. Hope everything goes better with next fill. I just got my first fill 12-1 after my first 6 weeks post op. I have 3cc in a 10cc band. My doc waits 6 weeks between fills, I'm not scheduled for my 2nd fill until 1-19. Good luck to you!

      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.
