I was banded on April 12th. My first fill is May 18th, originally scheduled May 11th. I can't wait. I've been stuck at a 23 Ib weight loss for several weeks now.

I had my first fill today. My surgery was 4-12-12. So, I waited a little over a month. She told me today that if I can still eat more than a burger and not feel full call & get another fill whether that's 2wks, 2mo's, or years. So, I don't think it's a time frame at least not with my doctor.

I had my surgery in November 2010 and my dr had me go in 3 weeks after surgery and every 3weeks after that for the first 90 days cause that's what my insurance covered! It worked great for me that way....I followed everything to a T and within a year I lost 110 lbs! Good Luck everyone :-)

      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'. ???

        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!
