Help! 1st fill left me bleeding!



Recommended Posts

Has anyone else ever experienced bleeding after a fill? I had my first fill today. A few seconds after he removed the needle, blood began gushing. :thumbup: I asked if this was normal & they said no but gave no reason that it would have happened to me. While he was injecting the Fluid he mumbled something about it going in slow. Then after there was the bleeding...now I'm all freaked out.

Someone please tell me if this has ever happened to them before or if anyone knows why it might. Help me please!

Thanks!

Kim

I had my first fill last week and had some blood. I know the saline went in because I could feel the restriction. The blood wasn't much, but it was enough that they had to put a band-aid on it to stop the bleeding. It stopped soon after and I peeled it off after a few hours. I wouldn't worry unless you feel weak, like you're bleeding inside, or if the bleeding won't stop.

Good luck!

      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?
