I remember this feeling - Restriction!



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill on 11/2. They put 1cc in. I felt fine, and had very little restriction.

I had my second fill today. I now have 1.75cc in. Wow. I defintely feel it.

I hope it's not just swelling, and stays just like this. 100 calories for lunch after the fill and I was plenty full. Taters and gravy (Healthy Choice diner minus the turkey which I knew would never fly) for dinner and full up :)

I'm feeling a little lethargic, and I wasn't going to do my exercise tonight, but I forced myself onto the bike to do at least 15 minutes - ended up doing the whole 25 ;)

Good band day. Very good band day.

Well, today, I'm still a little sore around the port. The doctor that did my fill is not my surgeon, he is my surgeon's partner, and was assist surgeon on my surgery. Anyway, he didn't seem to find the port right away and I feel a little bruised.

But the restriction is still awesome. I did liquids (mostly) today again, and any solids I did eat today, boy I sure felt them. I'm sure I'm still swollen, but I hope like all heck that when the swelling goes, the restriction sticks around.

*This* feeling is why I got banded!

      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!
