I went for my first fill. Well let me start with ..... I weighed 215 when I first started , I was band on 11-12-09 weighing 200 at that time. Today I weighed 192 .....man it's been years sense I had see below 200. Well back to the fill , it wasn't that bad.I had 2cc in the band and they added 2cc today. I feel good. I have to do liquids for 2 days then 1 day soft, then reg. food. My doctortold me if I think I need another fill befor the time come , then just call and they will do another fill. He said I was the only one that would know if the band was working. ......It has been 5 weeks and I can't wait to see how I do the next 4 weeks!! I was proud and had to let everyone on here know how I did.

Good for you! I had my fourth fill today. I have 7.5ccs in my band but still not feeling any restriction. I was told not to worry about it. I might feel some in a day or two. Right now I am working on my own will-power.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
