Full Circle



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Hope all of your holidays are happy and healthy. I've been so busy I haven't been around. The last time I posted I was telling you guys how I felt so restricted even without a fill. Well I got my first fill in early November and for a couple of days, maybe even a week or so, it was good but now I feel like I have no restriction at all!!!! How I came full circle I don't know. I was supposed to go back in December for my second fill but I moved it up to this Tuesday. My doc told me I may not feel restriction with the first one and his reason was because I am considered a "light weight." Ha ha. I think that's so funny. My whole life I was always the heavy girl, the biggest in my family and now I'm a light weight! Anyway, I hope I feel some restriction soon. I also hope I didn't gain weight. I've been eating more lately. Has anyone else gone through this? And if so how may fills did it take?

Between this and the holidays without my mom I'm feeling so down in the dumps.

Daniela,

Hang in there. It will work. I was also a 'light' one - gosh, I love that and am losing more slowly and having to work a little more but that's okay. It took me 2 fills to get restriction and 4 to get to a good place. I'm very sensitive to fills (severe swelling, etc) so I don't want them putting in too much at any one time.

I also swell when the weather changes - bad pb last night due to wind and snow that started about 2 hours later. I am a walking weather vane.

The longer I have this tool, the more I learn about it. Have patience. Good luck. Celeste

      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!
