First fill and hurting

vicki12345 · November 15, 2009

I had my first fill last Wednesday, was on liquids for 48 hours and now can't keep any food down. My doctor told me I had 2cc's and he added 3 cc's more. Also, I've found that when I drink my Protein Shakes cold I get a terrible pain in my chest. Is this normal?:wink2:

That pain sounds familiar...I have found that if I am unable to swallow something or have something 'stuck' that if I then drink anything on top of it I get a horrible chest pain, it brings tears to my eyes and is very painful, I think it is the pressure on the sides of my oesophagus from the liquid being 'backed up' and unable to enter my stomach. The liquid eventually comes back up very forcefully and then the pain is relieved.

My understanding of this whole process is that if it is painful or you are unable to keep anything down then either you have an obstruction with something stuck or are too tight and need a slight unfill.

I have had a couple of temporary blockages that lasted a day or so but nothing that did not eventually resolve itself with peppermint and papaya digestaid and lots of pineapple juice sipping and heaps of slime appearing!! Oh that's a point...if you have 'slime' coming up then it is probably something a little stuck. No slime and I would have thought it something else. I could only guess at what that something else was as at this time it is outside my experiences.

Hope you work it out soon though, does not sound comfortable.
