The 'mother' of all fills



Recommended Posts

I am 2 months post-op and had my second full today. The surgeon was pleased with my progress and although he said he usually only gives 2cc(s) as a second fill, he occasionally will give 2.5cc(s). I had restriction for a week after the first fill then it faded away. He gave me the 2.5cc fill and called it the 'mother' of all fills! Lol! I was instructed that I should be very cautious when I start solids again in 48 hours. This fill was also virtually painless with no numbing agent.

I am so thankful for my band and still shocked by the steady weight loss. I am hopeful for the first time in many years. I am also very appreciative of this board and all the information and support.

You are doing great! Keep up the good work. Like your surgean said, be carefull when you get to solids. Eat very slowly, small bites and chew chew chew. For me, I get a slight pain in my chest as I'm eating. I stop, and sometimes burp and am able to return to eating. Other times I am not. I have learned the hard way that if I eat beyond this point I vomit.

Great job so far!!! Awesome that he gave you a "mother" of a fill LOL! I definitely would be very cautious going back to regular food when eating.

Hope this one is "the one" for you :-)!

      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!
