I will be having my first fill today at 5pm and im so scared. I get so weak when my belly button is touched. I mean really sick to my stomach so I nervous about that in addition to feeling any kind of pain and my pouch being filled too much.

Well, I have no advice on the belly button thing, but it wasn't really that painful. Just a needle prick. And some people get to their green zone on their first fill, but I certainly did not. It was like not having any fill at all.

Good luck!

I really hope I get to my green zone i"ve been so hungry lately. I had my surgery Feb 4 and now my appetite has come back full force. Don't understand it. Anywhoo thanks and good luck to you as well.

You were probably just really swollen from surgery and that decreased your hunger. Once that swelling went away, you were hungry again. I think that's pretty normal!

Remember that it's a process to get to the green zone. After my first fill, I felt restriction for a couple days and then it went away. I've had my second fill and can definitely tell I have restriction, but I think I can handle more. Some people are done in 1 fill, others in 10.

I will provide a update after my first fill. Hopefully i will have restriciton.

Ok do I had my first fill today and was given 3cc's. I have to do liquids for 2 days then mushy foods for 2 days. I gained 3lbs :( but was told its normal. I thought I would hurt but I felt no pain. I go back in 3 weeks for my 2nd fill.

I just got back from having my first fill (5cc) - it was SO easy, I could not believe that it really did not hurt AT ALL!!! I also got a bandaid, cup of Water, and a "see you in 6 weeks" - lol. I am on liquids for a few days, then mushies. I couldn't be happier. I cannot wait to have that "full" feeling on a teensy, tiny bit of food. I am so looking forward to eating like a petite little flower - ha ha. I honestly can't tell any difference from the fill - still chugging water like I did before. Hopefully, I will get full fast when I start mushies. I actually want to get sick just one time so I get too scared to let it happen again - lol. :)

      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!
