Clicking noise during a fill



Recommended Posts

Do you hear a clicking noise when you get a fill?

My first fill I heard a clicking noise that sounded much like a computer mouse when you click.

My second fill I heard nothing.

Do you hear anything when you get a fill?

Don't hear a thing but I can feel the saline being drawn out of the band and then put back in. You may have heard an incidental noise and couldn't distinguish it in that little bit of time when you heard it. Culd have been stethoscope touched a button, a noise from the hypodermie, who knows? But I don't think I'd worry about it overmuch since you didn't hear it the scond time.

I heard/felt the click at my fill. It is the sound of the needle hitting the back (or bottom) of your port. I didn't know what it was at first, but my Dr has a demo band in the room that I always play with. After my fill I picked up the demo and gave it a "fill" and when I put the needle in it made the same clicking sound. I hope that makes sense!

I hear the same clicking sound and it is almost as if I can feel it too! I guess if many people experience this I would not be to worried!

Thanks for your replies.

The reason I ask is because on my second fill, my doctor said he couldn't pull any Fluid out, and now he thinks there is a cink in the line. But on the first fill I heard clicking, on the second fill I didn't. I wonder if he couldn't hit the right spot.

      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.
