Got myfirst fill and still hungry

I got my first fill Thursday and I waited 48 hours to eat normal foods. I was on the go last night and picked up some chili from Wendys thinking that would be the best bet since I could chew it up real well ( pretty new to the massive chewing and trying to get used to the prosess). I also picked up 5 nuggets thinking since I was driving it may fill me up after 2 or 3. Well nothing, I ate all the nuggets and all the chili when I got home and was still hungry. I know that the first fill always doesnt work. I asked my doctor and he said he put 3cc's in. I drank some Water and I knew it was going down slow. I thought that was it. I know my band is a big one and can hold 15cc's. My question is what now? Do I wait till my next Dr appointment to get another fill or call and get more in when they open on Monday? Another thing is that my doctor will be out of the counrty and gave me a list of other Doctors I could see if I was having trouble. Pretty much if it was too tight. So should I call them and get another fill. I just dont know if you wait between fills? Or do you keep going back till you hit this sweet spot I hear people talk about? I'm just ready to get this ball rolling and start losing. Thanks

How long will your doctor be out of the country for? Seems like most surgeons require 2 weeks in between fills. YES, people do get a fill that doesn't seem to "kick in" for 12, 13 days.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
