Had a fill on Thursday,1cc, felt fine, Friday could not keep much down, not even Water, tried to drink my Protein shakes and they would not go down, Saturday still getting stuck with fluids, Sunday tried some Soup, barley could get it down, Sunday night constanly throwing up, at night acid reflux, misable, felt like I was dyning. Went to doctor on Monday, first patient in office, they removed 1.5cc, I was swollen, and in pain, this is the worst fill, i ever got, they did a scope to make sure my band had not slipped, I feel so much better today, they told me to stay on liquids for a few days, it is so funny I wanted restriction and I got it too much, but if ever in doubt if you are in the red zone, and it don't feel right go to the doctor, this site helped me make that decsion, because I was going to wait it out, and from the scope they say I am still very tight and have a lot of irritation, I go back in two weeks unless I have problems, they told me not to hesitate to come back in, the staff is the best, thank god, for the good doctors and nurses and PA at Memorial Health in Savannah Georgia, and thank you guys for the good advice.

i used to think i would want my band really tight too, until it happened. ended up getting 2 emergency unfills..had good restriction for about 2.5 months, got sick and band tightened back up. now i'm going in monday for a small unfill.

Since I had my unfill, I am craving and eating everything in sight, this surgery surely have it ups and downs, I go in on the 12 March to get a fill, can't wait, long as I don't get in the red zone again, that was awful, I have never felt so sick and for days, never will I ever wait that long to go to the doctor. But I do admit, I have no regrets getting the band, I finally can look in the mirrow at myself, and know this is me, I was getting so big people did not reconize me, I felt so bad and ashamed I let myself get that big, but I will get this eating under control eventually, because I never want to look like I did before, I could barley move and felt bad all the time.

      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.

        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!
