I had my first fill about 4 wks ago and I haven't lost any weight since then? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I exercise more now than I used to and I eat smaller amounts? What could be wrong?:thumbup:

Could it be muscle mass gain or maybe not enough calories? Or maybe just a plateau... Hope the scale gets moving again soon!

I think I lost like just a few pounds when I got my first fill. There wasn't much restriction, so I was hungry all the time which led to some snacking. After my second fill I felt a little restriction. Right now I am too full and can barely drink, which has led to a 16 pound weight loss in 2 weeks. I am going to the doc tomorrow to have some liquid taken out.

You probably just need another fill. How many CC's are in your band? I have 7cc and it's too much, at my last fill I was 5.8cc, so I need to be somewhere in between there.

Hang in there.... keep the faith. The same thing happened to me. I had my first fill on May 26 and have lost no weight until today... I see a one pound loss. My next fill is one week from today. My weight loss is going very slowly.... but as long as it's going... I'll have to hang in there, too. Try not to get too discouraged. It will happen.

I have 3 cc filled so far. I don't feel much resistriction at all. I weighed myself this morning and actually found I finally lost 3 pounds! So maybe I need another fill and just be patient and stick in there.

      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!
