First fill today--question, pls help



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill, 3 ccs in the Realize band. In the five hours since, I've been incredibly gassy and burpy. I haven't eaten anything, just had Water. Also feel like I need to go #2 but can't. Normal?

I've never experienced this after a fill. I'm sure everyone is different, but it hasn't been my experience. I hope you get the answers you're looking for.

I don't think I was gasy or burpy afterwards, but perhaps your stomach is swollen from the irritation which is causing it to do weird things. Just a guess. As far as having a bowel movement - did you have a barium swallow? If so, barium can cause Constipation. Make sure you are keeping yourself hydrated. If you didn't have a barium swallow where you had to drink the white chalky stuff, then it probably isn't related to your fill.

As always, check with your doctor especially if these problems don't go away.
