Recommended Posts

i posted this in the main forum i am posting again here

i had my surgery 22nd of february ..

16cc band

lost 9 kgs in the first month ..

had first fill 4cc end f march

second fill 2cc end of april ..

since then i lost 9 more kilos ..

so 18 kgs (39 lbs) in 4 months

i went to have my third fill as i lost alot of abdominal fat and i feel i can eat more ..was partially restricted too

2 weeks ago i felt little tension in my port site ..wasnt a big deal

went today so the dr wanted to make sure there is no leak .. and wanted to unfill . the whole cc in the band then fill it again ..

but he couldnt get in .. after trying .. he found out it was partially flipped .. i read this happens in some people after losing abdominal fat

so he could reach it if i sleep on my right side and ..removed all 6 cc

then started filling again .. i choked .. and vomited even Water afterward

he had to remove 2cc so now i have only 4cc in the band and i feel water while passing ..on Fluid diet right now

how come i cant withstand the same 6 cc that were previously in the band??? what changed after the unfill !!

then now will 4 cc be enough

and afterwards .. do i have to go to a surgery for the flip thing??

i am having barium meal after tomorooow .. and he wants to check the placement of the band

i hope someone help me

i am really distressed

      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!
