3rd fill...



Recommended Posts

So I'm going to go have my 3rd fill on Friday...:unsure: a little nervous because after my 2nd fill I was way to tight and am scared of getting over filled again today.

Even though my Doc does the fills with Fluro and he can see the liquid pass through the band I still am nervous but KNOW I need a fill because I get hungry after 2 hours and I mean stomach rumbling hungry and I can eat way more the 3-4oz of Protein and 1/2 cup of veggies and 1/4 starch per meal.

So here's hoping all goes well after friday and I get back to losing weight!

I know he is gonna be unhappy with my weight loss so far but it's hard even with the band to lose weight it's just a tool not a cure all.....:huh: keep telling yourself that Zen keep telling yourself that!

So when you had your second fill, did it always feel too tight or did that go away? My first fil is Friday. My appetite has picked up and it's making me nervous :( I really hope the fill helps out quickly.

For me it takes a good 1-2 weeks to "feel" the fill so after the 2nd week when I was getting stuck and vomiting after every meal I knew I was too full. And that's why I got a unfill about 4 weeks later I should have gotten it done sooner but I go to Mexico to get my fills and they are only there one week out of the month.

I'm feeling the same way -- I'm scheduled for my fourth fill next week and know that it's time. I get the same grumbly tummy and feel like I can eat SO much more than people on these forums! I'm hoping I'll get a fill as well and that will help. I'll hope for you that you don't experience the same overfill. That has to be a terrible feeling. Don't worry too much about the weight loss -- 26 pounds lost is still 26 pounds lost! I look at it like this -- when was the last time I can say in six months that I've actually lost this much weight and not gained? Good luck with your trip to see your surgeon. Keep up all posted -- I always look at how you're doing!

      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!
