Me, too. I had my 3rd fill today. I thought I just needed a little but when I was under the floro she had to add .7 for me to get restricion. I should have known, I ate a piece of pizza yesterday! I figured I better do it now while I still could! When did you get your band?

Omg I thought that I could take 3 ccs yesterday so I left and got in my car and burped and threw up. I thought once I threw up I would be fine so I drove hom and what did I do that for. I was sooo sick sliming and throwing up now keep in mind I didnt eat anything since wed night around 10pm I threw up everything that was in me then it was like foam... I called the doc and had to wait to 230pm to see him and then he took all the Fluid out of me then made sure that the band hadnt slipped then he started to add the fluid back in. so my body is real sore from all that throwing up I feel like I just did 300 sit ups.... this weekend I going to take it easy and rest..... hope all is well

Yikes! I was banded on 1/5/10 and have already had 2 fills- neither of which did much of anything. I have an appt. for my 3rd fill and, while I definitely don't want to be overfilled, I would like to feel some restriction. I seem to be hungry all the time and able to eat whatever I want. But I definitely don't want to experience what you did Tiffany! Anyways, just feeling a bit frustrated that I am not seeing much difference from before I was banded to now.

Do others have this same problem? Scary stuff!

From reading the forum, it's not unusual to get an overfill at some point on the way to restriction.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
