Not Sure If I Should Get Another Fill



Recommended Posts

Ill start by saying two months ago I had a fill and was at 8.3ccs and first couple of days couldn't eat anything, only liquids..then it loosened up enough where I could eat a little at a time, had horrible heartburn, night coughs, everything but lost 15 pounds that month. I don't eat healthy food I eat whatever I want. After that I got a little more put in because imstupid, so had to get an unfill the next day and they took two whole ccs out. Now I'm back up to 7.9cc and have a little heartburn, but I want to get like .2 at most put back in. Am I totally stupid??

If you have heartburn then yes, you would be unwise to get extra fill added. Your dr should discuss this with you and if you answer honestly (not saying that you wouldn't, please don't take offence!), then he/she should refuse to give you a fill. Being too tight can have long term repercussions.

yes, if you are still getting heartburn and have a cough. I have afriend who liked her band so tight, couldn't tolerate much of anything.....2.5 years post surgery, one gallbladder out later and she had to get totally unfilled. Up 60 of the 80 pounds and she is just getting her fills done again now. So, better slow than fast if fast means problems for you.

      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.

      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!
