Thanks Krussell just left 1 of my doctors and he gave me Fluid pills. I can't believe the amount of fluid I'm carrying around my body hurts really bad.

Has the doc said anything about why this is still occuring? I would think things would have started to turn for the better :(

Hello krussell! My primary wants me to have a venous Doppler done as well as an chest X-ray and a X-ray of my abdominal. The Fluid seems to be going and coming on yesterday I drink a lot of Gatorade and Water and by the time I got home I was swollen again. I just want to get back to my size 2 weeks ago. This makes me not want to ever get my band unfilled.

I completley understand ive had 3 emergency unfills that all lead to even more problems then I had before the unfill.

I hope they figure it out so you cam have some relief!!

I had my band unfilled last week also and now I am suffering from bloating' date=' pain all over my stomach, excessive burping. I feel as if my stomach is swollen but can't really tell. Are you having pain with the swelling?[/quote']

I had my first fill last week and also have had excessive burping. What causes this

Hi Sommers, Yes I experience a lot of pain especially in my lower legs. But for some odd reason the pain started in my buttocks. It's been a week now the pain is gone but my stomach and legs are still swollen.

      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!
