Is there such a thing as people incapable of feeling full?



Recommended Posts

Okay, here's one for you. I was banded one year ago exactly and I have never felt the "sweet spot" of restriction.

I have a 11cc band and have had 2 fills now equalling a total of 9.4cc's. one at 3.4cc and another at 6cc. Have any of you had to be filled to the max in order to feel restriction?

I know I need to do better on not drinking and eating at the same time. I give myself a C+ on my efforts. But when I do the right thing, I still havent had restriction.

Decision to have surgery: weighed 232

Pre-surgery weight: 214 pounds

Surgery: July 2009

Post-surgery weight: 199 pounds

1st fill 3.4cc: Sept 2009: 202 pounds

2nd fill under fluro October 2009: 205 pounds, no stretched pouch or leak, 6CC

1 year later: 214 pounds

I'm at 11cc in the 14 cc band and I have some restriction. I have lost 112.5 lbs in the last two years since banding but I still carry a considerable amount of weight in my midsection. I'm hoping I do not have to max out my band to feel restriction, as I continue to lose my midsection weight.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
