I had my 4th fill, I have had a .06, .05.05. .04cc fill yesterday. I have the worst case of heart burn, I can eat warm Soup but lost a glass of Water today.

am I too tight? its been 5 months since my last fill, and can't remember if it was this bad. any ideas?

I would give it a couple days to see if the problem is due to swelling. I know that for the last couple fills it took around 4-5 days for swelling to go down. I always get a little "acidy" just after a fill. If you are unable to get Water or food down then definitely go back right away and if you don't feel better in a few more days then a slight unfill may be needed.

I have had that problem as well and it seems to subside after a few days. I have had to go back in and have some Fluid taken out because it didn't resolve. Hopefully it is due to swelling.

I also had the same problem I waited two weeks still could not keep any food down ended up having to take out a lot of Fluid, but on the bright side I lost 20 lbs in two weeks and only gained back five after the unfill. Exercise is keeping it off. I go back May first for a refill:-)

I just recently had my fourth fill and it was definitely different from any other fill I had ever had. I thought I was going to have to request an unfill, but after a week or so...it subsided and wasn't as tight.

      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?
