Had My First Fill



Recommended Posts

Today was my first fill in the doctors office I was scared but everything went OK he told me lay down got a needle and said it was a pinch it was true didn't hurt at all he put in 3ccs it felt weird going in then he said get up and drink this Water. I did but I could only take sips slowly he said relax give it couple minutes then I felt fine.I felt like I wanted to burp while drinking water I went home and feel fine liquids for 24hours .

I got mine on Tuesday! They put in 4 cc and had me do the test with barium. When it didnt go down they removed 2 cc and had me do it again. It felt so weird but I definitly feel like it has made a difference!

When you say it didnt go down, does that mean it came back up? Or just didnt pass thru the band? I have such a hard time stomaching that stuff and if I puke it all up I dont know whether to blame the band or my dusgust! Lol. Was it the chaulky variety they had you take post-fill, or the more rancid applejuice sort? :shiver:

Mck - When I drink it it just didnt go down through my band so they said it was too much so they took some out. It was chalky but not bad. I was definitly glad they did it with the scan.

      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!
