Would having a fIll on 11/23 ruin Thanksgiving???



Recommended Posts

I have decided that I need another fill and want to get it done next week on the 23rd or I would have to wait another month...

Does anyone think that by getting a fill that close to Turkey day that I may ruin it or miss out on anything?

I think it depends. There is always the possiblility the fill will be too much and you won't be able to keep food down. If I were you I would go for it, rather than wait a whole month. Hope it goes well and happy Thanksgiving!

I would go ahead and get the fill when you can.

I'm partial though because I'm not a huge fan of the Thanksgiving dinner (sucks having a birthday in late November and always having turkey and pumpkin pie for your bday dinner, lol).

My answer would be if you can get a morning fill on the 23 you will probably be able to eat by noon of 25. My family has a pretty large Thanksgiving with my sisters' inlaws and my brother's step children. They don't know about my surgery and I would'nt really want to discuss it or make up reasons why I was'nt eating. I have been pondering seeing if I can get a fill on Monday or Tuesday as I don't have any restriction and Monday will be two weeks since my last fill.

Thanks All...yes I will be getting the fill around 10:30 am so I hope to be ok by the 25th...I dont eat alot as it is but just dont wanna have to worry about not being able to eat nothing at all while every one else is chowing down it's a mental thing you know. :blushing:

I was supposed to get my first fill on the Monday of thanksgiving week. I opted to move it to the next Monday.

With it being my first fill, I am not sure what to expect etc. I don't want that stress to ruin my holiday.

The food on Thanksgiving was never a big deal for me, it is more enjoying my family.

If I had already had a fill and knew what to expect, I might feel differently.

      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!
