Less restriction after a fill?



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I went for my second fill this past Friday and I'm experiencing a curious (and unwelcome) phenomenon. I have less restriction after the fill. :D

Has this ever happened to anyone?

After my very first fill I didn't have a lot of restriction but I had some. When I went on Friday, my doctor complimented me for losing 4lbs in 4 weeks. I told her I was disappointed but she told that that was the right amount and that I was doing good. She asked me if I still wanted a fill and I said yes (though I really wanted to say, "hell yes!" :) ).

I went home, stayed on liquids for one day and mushy the next. But now that I can eat regular food I find that I have less restriction that I had before the fill. The doctor told me that I went from a 4.5 fill (I think) to a 7.5. But I'm starting to wonder if she didn't take something out instead of putting it in by mistake. Any chance?

Funny you say that.....I had my first fill last Monday. I didn't have anything in my band and had lost 4 lbs in the 2 weeks from the previous appointment. I assumed that I was automatically going to get my fill; however, the Dr. was hesitant to give it to me. I suspect when he saw how disappointed I looked, he said, "Well, we can give you a small fill!" I feel like since he gave me a "small fill" (amount unknown), I have been more hungry!? I can't figure it out!? SO strange!!!!

      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.
