Glad you're feeling relief! Often you only need a couple points of a cc removed to be able to eat properly. That's what I'm hoping for tomorrow. This morning I got stuck on juice! :wacko:

going in today for an unfill and now that I have read this I feel better. I haven't lost, can't eat good food so I eat the bad food since it goes down and i throw up at least once a day. He filled it just a tad too much last time. I had it unfilled for surgery and the second refill he went too tight. Going on vacation and do not want to be yack attacking in the middle of sea world. the other day I went out, had fish, couldn't make it to the bathroom, it was busy so i had to let it go in the sink. OMG I about died. Pregnant woman in there was real nice and concerned asked me if I was ok and I'm like, so sorry, so very sorry. I have the lap band and it's too tight. good gawd I wont be back there for a while. I did clean it up but egad.

Omg!!! That sounds just like how I was!! Having a unfill sounds like your going in the wrong direction but that is far from the truth!!! I had my unfill last Tuesday and it was the best decision i have made since Lapband! I can eat the right things now and actually enjoy it without having to taste it a second time when it comes back up!!! And I have lost 2 lbs! Best decision ever!!!! The doc said I had 6.6 in my 10cc band and she took .5 out it was the biggest relief ever! Good luck!!! Let us know how it goes!

      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!
