HELP!!!!! Having serious issues with my 3rd fill



Recommended Posts

OK, heres the deal.....I literally just got home from having my third fill and already I suspect there will be problems. I just had a couple of rushed sips of Water at the dr's office and left in a big hurry (he was over an hour late for my 4:30 appt). By the time I got to my car, I could feel the familiar gurgling starting but this time it lasted a long time and I was beginning to think it was going to get stuck.....is that even possible, to get stuck on freakin' water? I didn't drink anything else till I got home, then I tried another bigger sip. It felt ok going down, but I have been burping and hiccuping for over an hour then began to feel actual nausea. I guess I may be too tight, but my question is.....when I read other posts regarding people actually being unable to keep even water down, does that mean that you actually are throwing up, or are you just PB'ng? I'm just trying to prepare myself mentally for what might be coming in the morning. If I am too tight will I be throwing up or just in an uncomfortable PB'ng episode? Thank you wonderful people for your help on this and the many other crazy questions I've asked.

I don't think you should be worrying about whether or not you'll PB in the morning. You should be worrying about whether or not you can get an 8am appointment to get an unfill. :angry_smile:

I have never experienced it but have heard of people that are so tight Water will not go down. I might suggest waiting a day to see if there is any change. My doctor has me on a liquid diet for the first 24 hours then to mushy and so on and I think the initial very tight feeling might be why. The only thing that you really can do to be sure is to call your doctor.

Hi everyone! Just an update on my post. I am doing much much better today. I think I had just gotten too used to having no restriction for the past 2 months that when I got this last fill and it did give me some restriction I was still trying to drink big sips like I had been able to with the other 2 fills. Now that I am going MUCH slower it has all been fine today. I had some cabbage Soup for lunch and just took my time....went down perfectly. Of course since it was Soup and only a 1/2 cup at that, I am now hungry and it was only 2 hours ago. Going to try some tilapia tonight...I need some protein! Thanks again everyone!

      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.
