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!

Mary

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
