My first fill was 1.5 cc. My doctor said they do conservative fill amounts. First fill was a breeze. Took a day for things to settle down as far as eating solids. I am a few days past my second fill and this one hasn't been so easy. I may be a little too tight but am hoping things may settle in a few more days. I am seeing my doctor sooner this month so I am hoping to ride it out til I see her. But if it stays like I am now I may need a bit of an un-fill.

How long between fills was it for you?

I did a fill every two weeks for 6 weeks then once month . So 4 fills so far since my surgery 1.5.12. I still do not feel restriction. I have lost 39 lbs. Have now started to gain a couple of lbs. Back. My next fill isn't until 5.30.12. Wish it was sooner.

Because of scheduling conflicts, my first fill was two months after surgery and second fill was one month after that.

My surgery was on 3-16-12 and my first fill was on the 6th of April... It wasn't as bad as I had anticipated... (I have a HUGE fear of needles!!!) didn't feel much restriction, but my second was yesterday and I feel a little more restriction then the first one... My doctor does fills every 3-4 weeks... My next fill is the 16th of May...

I had my first fill today, 2cc today for a total of 4cc. My band has a max of 10cc,

What's the deal on different band holding different amounts :blink:?

      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.

        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!
