So I was got my first fill last week, whoo hoo...5.0 in my band. He told me to come back in 2 weeks for my second. So when I went to schedule, the only appointment was 8 days from my first. I asked if she was sure that was ok, and she said yes.

Anyone else have fills that close together? I have NO restriction, so I'm thinking it should be fine! :thumbup: I told them to be aggressive...I guess I'm getting my wish!

I had my second fill 9 days after 1st. No problem. I might get my 3rd fill sooner rather than later. You will be fine.

Yes...I also had my fills close together. I am acutally glad the Dr. was willing to work with me until I felt restriction.

Im allowed to get fills whenever I need them. I had my 2nd fill just under 2 weeks apart from each other.

one of the reasons fills are so far apart time wise is togive your stomach a chance to get used to the restriction. Getting fills too fast can be BAD BAD BAD.

I had erosion 4 months after surgery and one of the reasons we believe is because of my fills which I got too fast. In the 4 months since surgery I went from 0cc in my 10cc band to 8cc in my band by the time the erosion was found. If it wasnt for my doc doing a random endoscope check we would not have found it so soon.

Be careful fast fills can be good in the short run giving you restriction but a couple of months from now you might find that you have erosion or problems with your stomach.

      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.

        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!
