I wondered how many fills it took people to reach a point where much less food kept them full for hours. I have had two fills and at first I was able to eat small amounts and stay full for hours. But both times after about two weeks I am getting really hungry again. Going back in a few days for my third fill.

I was actually wondering the same thing because i got my fill 2 weeks ago and i dont feel any different than i did before my fill. I cant wait till my second fill and feel a little more restriction because i cant stand the feeling of guilt everytime i eat a meal

Its is great when I first get a fill but then after about 2 weeks the hungrys start. Hoping for a longer time after this fill.

You are so lucky! It took 5 months and seven fills before I felt any restriction. You are almost there! Good luck to :thumbup:you!

I've had 3 fills and one unfill in the last 4 weeks. The first was 3 cc...nothing. The second was 3 cc...just a bit of trouble with french bread. Third fill (see signature line) was 2 cc. At that point I couldn't eat most solids without getting stuck. They took 1 cc out today and I'm pretty sure I'm at my sweet spot.

I'm fortunate that I don't have a doctor that makes his patients wait months between fills...but then he has a band also and has first hand experience with it as well as 'book' knowledge.

Will this be my last fill? Who knows, but I am at the point where I have restriction and can eat 'normally' but not to excess.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
