This is kinda gross,



Recommended Posts

but most things on this site seem to be! I just had my 2nd fill and am feeling kinda crummy. I was hungry when I got home from the dr (rumbly in my tumbly kinda hungry) so I attempted a few swallows of Tomato Soup. Now, on top of the shoulder pain I've been having since the fill, I'm foaming, slimming, and even vomited what little bit of Soup I'd swallowed. Now I'm trying to determine if a) this is a common reaction to the minor swelling that accompany's a fill, or :thumbup: if they filled me too much. Ugh. I appreciate any insight. I've pretty much decided that if it's not better by tomorrow then I'm going to go back and have them unfill some. Thanks!!

I would wait a little while before you try something else, but make it a clear liquid, and make sure you only take small sips (although, you might have already decided to do that). I would say you're too tight. Even though there is often times swelling after a fill, you should be able to hold down liquids. You may feel tightness the first day or two with liquids, but it shouldn't come back up with foaming, sliming, and vomiting.

I'm glad that you've already decided to go back to the doctor for a tiny unfill. The worse thing to do is to wait too long and then need a complete unfill and to aggravate your band to no end trying to keep a fill that is clearly too much.

Katy,

Did they tell you how much fill they put in? It's possible you have too much of a fill, but it's also possible that you need to just take a smaller sip and then wait before taking another. You may be dealing with just a bit of swelling, but I agree with kiz. If you still can't keep anything down tomorrow, perhaps a slight unfill would help.

      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?
