Fills DO work, if YOU work with it.

I have 4.8cc in my band for my first fill. Today is the first day I'm allowed to eat soft solids

after being on liquids for the first 24 hours, then graduating to mushies yesterday.

We went to Olive Garden for my younger brother's graduation dinner and I ordered off the kids

menu of chicken with broccoli. I had a few bites of the Zuppa Soup that came along with it (eating most

of the kale in the Soup instead of the potatoes) and barely took four bites before I was completely full

and satisfied.

Maybe it's my honeymoon stage, but I have tuned in with my body alot since surgery and I

am learning so much about when to stop eating, when to eat, etc.

I know fills will work if you give it time. And everyone is different...someone with the same amount

of cc fill may not agree with me, but I'm just sharing a few positive thoughts for those who are curious about

band fills.

Happy Banding :0)

      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!
