Congrats, I'm hoping for the same results with less fills! My first fill is a week away!

FYI, your font is hard to read, you may want to consider changing it :)

I had my surgery back in Feb, and have had 2 fills with zero weight loss and no feeling of restriction. I am starting to feel that maybe it's not working for me.. So depressed. Then I read your post and it gives me hope, I have a third fill scheduled for the middle of July, hopefully it will be the fill that works wonders for me as well. Thank you for your post!

Congratulations! I'm right there with you. Finally with 2nd fill have true restriction. 7ccs. Go to Dr. June 16th and don't think I need a third at least right now. Lost 60 so far. Feb 7th surgery 2011. True restriction finally means knowing what everyone has been talking about! Now tiny bites, chewing well and eating very slowly. It does work!

GOOD TO HEAR ~~~~ had my 3rd fill today !!! now i have 7.5 cc in my band, hoping to fill some more restriction !! Can i ask A question, do you have a special diet for fills? do you follow it? we are told Clear liquids for 2 days, shakes for 2 days, soft foods 2 days, and then normal food> Anybody else?? and if not what do you do after fills ???

Thank you =)

I had a third fill which made 7ccs in my band. For a long time I had great restriction, but now it seems like I can eat more different foods. I'm thinking the 20 pounds I lost after the 3rd fill may have caused my band to be less tight. I'm having to watch what I eat now to not gain until I can have a 4th fill in July. It was perfect restriction.....phooey! :)

      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!
