How many fills/ccs before.....?



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am taking a mini poll. So, please answer!!! How many fills, and please include ccs if you can, before you starting feeling restriction?

I was banded on 5/19/11 and had my first fill 6/20/11. I have not felt any restriction. For the first this morning I had a piece of toast. Was still hungry about an hour later and had another. I am feeling pretty full. I guess a lot of people feel more restriction in the a.m., which is fine, but my problem eating times are typically later in the day. I am hoping to guage how long it will be before I start losing. I have told a few people about the surgery so of course they keep asking me how it is going and I have pretty much stalled as far as weight loss because I can eat anything and I am not sticking to a plan. I am still very optimistic that I will lose weight, I am just really anxious for restriction. Thanks for listening!

I was banded April Fools Day this year. I didn't start to feel any restriction until the 4th fill last week. I have a large band (14cc) and now have 7cc. I saw a similar poll for smaller bands and saw the "sweet spot" was not reached until half your band is full. I think I may be there.

      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!
