Was my fill too tight or do i juat need to waiti



Recommended Posts

I had avoided my Dr for months because I wasn't doing what I was supposed to so after about 6 months I bit the bullet and decided to face the music. I had a fill on friday don't ask why this was the only time i didnt ask how much. Anyway I stuck to liquids and attempted mushies Saturday. Oddly I was having issues with liquids all day hot/cold except for the fact that I was able to eat once a day a meal of mashed potato and tilapia. Same experience Sunday and Monday. Today its Monday I figured one last try before i call dr so I ate egg salad which went down smoothly and said let me push it and after 20minutes I drank Water. It went down so well I quickly grabbed for more water as is not been able too. Could my band have miraculously adjusted or will I possibly going to back to square one tomorrow. Has anyone experienced this. I hope I didn't lose anyone, its kind of hard typing on my phone.

It sounds like your stoma was swollen and the swelling has gone down. It seems fairly common.

Glad you're feeling better.

I hope so. Just worried it'll be tight again tomorrow. Only because every day at least one meal went down. I swear Water nwver tasted So good. I may be running to the rest room all night but boy will it be worth it

      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!
