First Fill - October 4



Recommended Posts

Okay, so I'm recovered from my surgery, but I don't feel like I have the band on. The nurse told me that's normal.

I'm hungry more often than I thought I would be, so that's a little discouraging.

My husband tells me that I need to develop some patience, because the doctor wants me healed before he starts putting in fills.

Any advice?

:biggrin:

My first fill is OCT 8th. I am tracking all of my calories and walking, but I am honestly feeling discouraged too. I really do understand why it is called bandster hell. So frustrating.

My first fill is 10/4. I feel I will gain what weight I have lost. A little frustrated!!

Hang in there, everyone. I just got back from the doctor's office for my first fill. It just takes sheer will to get through the hell, and it doesn't necessarily end with the first fill. I don't really feel it (yet), but am stubborn enough to keep on keepin' on.

BTW, the fill was a nothing. No pain, no problem.

Thanks for letting me know that you're out there. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who feels this way.

I'm hoping this will be a non-issue in a couple of months.

Have a great weekend everyone!

      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!
