When should I have my first fill?



Recommended Posts

Thanks Pam! I haven't updated the profile in a bit but thanks for looking :smile: My first fill I had too much restriction and had a cc taken out. I've since had 2 fills, the first with another 1/2 cc and I had that for 2 months and then just last Monday I got another 3/4cc fill and now I'm too tight again! Urgh! I guess I'm ultra sensitive. I have 6 3/4cc now in a 14 cc band.....but I'm back in on Monday to have some taken out. I'm back to not being able to keep solids down so I'm on liquids. I've lost about 6 pounds this week but it's not very fun! I hate to see you suffer something like that on your vacation! I'm hoping the if he just takes out 1/4-1/2 cc I will be at the perfect spot!!!! :scared2: I'm getting married August 14th and will be gone a week on my honeymoon....if I did need another fill I defenitly won't be getting that till after my honeymoon :tt2:

Thanks again Pam and enjoy your vacation!

Congratulations on your wedding! Where are you going on your honeymoon? Sorry you are having issues with your band again, hopefully this next adjustment will be just right. I have no idea what size band I have, are their very many commonly used sizes? I am feeling better about waiting, I think I mostly just needed to come to a decision and get my mind around it. Thanks for your input! Pam

Thanks Pam! We are going to the Oregon Coast for our honeymoon. Going to a little beach town called Pacific City! It's really beautiful there! My Aunt and Uncle have a house at the beach that they have offered us to stay....it's really nice! We can't wait! I hope I'll get to the right adjustment Monday! I think there are some people with older band who have smaller one...I think they are 5cc, then I've heard of a 10cc then the one I have 14cc. Not sure if that's all....but that's what I've heard of. If you just got banded it's probably a 10 or 14cc band.

I'm glad the imput helped you with your decision! Good luck with everything!

      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!
