Your doc possibly determines if you need a fill. It's based on the amount of food you eat in a sitting. Normally 3 small meals a day. If you are losing about 1-2 lbs a week and if you are hungry between meals. I believe that is what they go off of. Of course you can always ultimately you can make the decision I guess. Good luck on your journey Southern Leo.

that is fantastic!!!! I just celebrated my 2 year bandiversary last week, 12/20/08. I have lost 90 pds with NO FILLS also! I cannot explain why some people need so many fills/unfills and I never wanted one. The Dr. made it my choice to fill or not to fill! Every time I went in and lost weight I decided to not upset the apple cart by getting filled and unfilled. I have been maintaining for the last year still with no fills. Good luck to all of you with no fills and believe me, my thinking is that we are less likely to have a slip with no fills and pushing the band. Just my thoughts! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and I too cheated and will have to make up for it with more exercise inthe coming weeks.

      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.

        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!
