today I went to see my doctor.. I was in for a fill a few weeks back. Had tight restriction. But was able to eat. It is getting close to Time of the month.. Seems as if things are tighening more.. I went in he took out 2 cc I believe.. I havent been able to eat well at all for the last few days. Last night was awful..Was up not even being able to swallow my own spit.. Trying to throw up nothing.. My pillow was wet.. Gross...

Felt somewhat better today after slight unfill but now burping and chest fullness is coming back.. Could it be I am still swollen from throwing up or more needs to come out.. Yikes.. cant the unconfortbaleness

I am not sure what question you're asking...but if you can't swallow your own saliva you are still too tight. Call the doc back.

No I can swallow now. but still cant eat to much just wondering about if I have swelling if that is the reasoning or need more Fluid out.. I know no one can say forsure. Just looking curious about others stories.. Can you have swelling for a few days after puking..

Well, after a fill my doc (and many but not all others) recommend just being on fluids for 24 hours, then moving to mushies etc. So yes you can be swollen for a while.

If you can get liquid down then just don't eat anything thicker until Fri but by Fri am, if it were me and I STILL felt like you do, I'd call the doc. (Since Sat is a holiday)

We're all different of course...

liquids only! This is a cycle that you need to break. Each time you try to eat solids you are irritating your stoma more and that isn't letting the swelling go down.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
