How do you know if you have stretch your pouch?(no fill's yet)



Recommended Posts

I was baned on 12-21-10 so far i have lost 80 pounds. I have not had any fills yet and i would like to reach my goal weight without any. But lately I have worried that something is wrong i can drink Water as fast as i want with no trouble and I'm hungry all the time. So i'm worried that i have stretch out my pouch.

See your doctor. It may be time for that 1st fill! It's great that you have already lost 80 without a fill---way to go!!

I have always been able to drink as fast as i want. I have no fill in my band either.

I wondermif your band may be looser because you've lost some fat around your tummy?

No fill? My surgeon said he put some Fluid into mine at time of surgery as "I had done such a great job of doing the pre-surgery shakes" I laughed because I cannot say I didn't taste a morsel here or there, just a TASTE and only about four times in the two week period. And I didn't use all the shakes at that time. My thing was if I wasn't hungry why eat, wasn't that part of what we are learning here? I did lose over 10 lbs in that two week period and feel good now. Had surgery on Mon 8/8 and have lost about five lbs but could be just from the bloat post surgery which is fine. Down is down. I am concerned tho as I too can drink as before without issue. Water especially. Jello, well that can trigger that pressure mid-abdomen, but I can do a 8 oz shake thinned with no problems except I do get full. I cannot SIPI. Is that bad? I just cannot do it and was not able to do it after surgery either. No vomit for me..

I am having my first fill in three weeks I believe.

This is such a fun adventure...Just keep up with the ride!

      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!
