Newbie who is 15 weeks post surgery



Recommended Posts

Hello

I am a newbie to this site. I am 15 weeks post surgery. I am starting to get really frustrated. I am not feeling very little to no restriction. My husband has even said to me that he is not seeing a difference in how much I eat. I have had several fills and I believe I have 9ccs in my 11cc band. I am just wondering if anyone out there has been through the same thing? I have only lost 12 pounds and now I am stuck..... I losse 3 pounds then within a couple days I gain it right back. I just want to CRY!

I'm sorry you are going through such a rough time. Have you spoken to your doctor about not feeling any different? Maybe they need to do a fill under flouroscopy to make sure everything is as it should be.

Their is a machine called Fluoroscope "X-RAY for your Organs, and the Band. "

Tell your Dr. That you want to be filled under Fluoroscope He/ and you will watch the whole thing.

If there is a Problem it will show up.

Since your under the Scope, tell him to fill you to your fill line. "Yes you have one, and he can do this" then you will know what you have in the Band.

You should feel Restriction, when they give you a Glass of Water to Drink.

This is what I had done, I hope it works for you..

      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!
