Hi Everyone,
Ive not been on here for a while as life has been crazy busy, I try to check in every so often though and see how everyone is doing.
Well Im doing very well had my surgery on 23rd Oct and have lost 42lbs :) which is amazing.
I had my second fill yesterday evening. My surgeon is delighted with my progress and all appears to be going well.
I just wonder is it 'normal' after a fill for when you drink to feel like little gas bubbles going up your throat. Its the strangest feeling. I hope Ive been able to explain it properly! I though I was too tight but as today has gone on I feel alot better. Do we swell after a fill? What causes the internal swelling if so.
I didnt feel like this after my 1st fill which is why Im asking these questions. I spoke to my surgeon this morning as I panicked because I felt a little sick and water wasnt going down very easily. He told me to be patient (which is something I find very hard). Lo and behold now a few hours later I feel alot better.
I just need to know these air bubbles (which my surgeon says is gas from my stomach) is normal and its not just me experiencing it.
Apologies for the long post I just feel a little mental at moment.:crazy:
Thanks

HI Natasha,
I have the same thing going on. After my 3rd fill I have 2.8 in my band and now have more restriction. But I don't fill sick with it. Just the back of my throat makes funny noise's sometimes.

Take care,
Cheri
