Re: 2nd fill - wierd feelings

[Guest guest]

, you are probably still swollen from the fill. We need to be

taking small sips now - never any gulping any longer! Just a couple

small sips, then pause for 10 seconds to let it go down

Have warm and hot things, not cold ones, for now. cold ones will

shrink the stoma, and you want it to open and relax.

Within a few days, you should have no problem at all with drinking

any hot or cold liquids- both should go down right away without the

sensation of " backing up " - as long as you remember the small sips

rule.

The burning may well be reflux, and this is a sign that the fill may

too tight - along with your drinking problems above. Avoid anything

with citrus, coffee, caffeine, chocolate, tea, spicy things, mint,

onions or garlic - all these promote reflux. Give it a day or two for

the swelling to go down. If there is still aNY burning, please

contact your doc for a small unfill - reflux is dangerous, and should

never be tolerated.

See how it goes for a couple days, - you can wait if you're able to

get in the minimum 80-100 oz of fluid a day, so you don't dehydrate.

Have only fluids the first 24 hrs, then a day of soft foods, then go

back to regular foods (unless your doc has a slower schedule). If you

cannot tolerate any of these stages, you're also too tight for that

reason.
