Hi all,

Can someone help here. I had my second fill yesterday and I had quite a bad night, I can only sip very small amounts of fluid at the moment or it comes back up. I wondered if its due to the stomach swelling after the fill, will this sort itself out, I've only got 4cc's in at the moment.

if this continues today I would contact my doctor, it could be swelling but it could be that you need a slight unfill. You never want to be too full for too long it is not good for your health or you mental state. Good luck and don't delay calling him you do not want to get dehydrated

Hey girlfriend! I went through the same thing...

Yes, your stoma swells after a fill. How much? Who knows... but you should be able to get water down, at least.

I wouldn't wait more than 48 hours after your fill to return to the doctor's office for an unfill if you haven't had any water. If you can get down water, then you can hold out a few more days to see if the swelling goes down and then you can gage if your fill is good for you or not.

You said you had your fill yesterday? If you can't get water down, you should make an appointment for an unfill. Just a slight unfill could do it.

Don't panic though. We all go through it. I even had a fill too tight UNDER FLOUROSCOPY! So, I swelled really bad after my fill and had to return to Mexico 3 days later for an unfill. Talk about stress! I hadn't had water or food in 3 days, about to shrivel up and die and had to get on the airplane to Mexico! haha... glad I can laugh about it now!

Good Luck... You'll be fine. Just try to get water down if you can before your unfill. Don't work out, walk too much, or even do household chores right now. Don't use any energy if you don't have to. You are dehydrated and want to do everything you can to keep that water in you.

Keep us updated girlfriend! Dana
