I got my first fill yesterday, and my doctor wouldn't tell me the amount! He said that he's found it counterproductive to tell patients because they fret about whether it's too much/too little. All he would say was "it's the standard amount for a patient with a 10cc band." I thought about pushing the issue - because legally, I do have a right to know that information - but I like my surgeon a lot and decided to just chill out. So far, I feel fine and the liquids are going down fine. How long do you have to stay on liquids? I was a little bummed because I thought it was just 24 hours for me, but then when I re-read the materials to prepare for my appt, I saw it was 48+ hours!

My dr wants the rest of the day of the fill and the next day liquids & then the next three days after that soft foods. I go back again aug 7th for my next fill I'm excited though!

My first fill I alredy had 4cc's, they added 1.5 cc's. My band is either 14cc or 16cc I don't remember which. In a week and half they will give me another 1.5 cc's so I am at 7 cc's.

My first fill was 4 cc's and my second fill was 3 cc's. Still NO RESTRICTIONS YET!!!!!!! Going for my 3rd fill next Friday.

My first was 3 cc's. 24 hours full liquids then 24 hours mushies. Keeping in mind you probably won't get restriction from your first fill; in general it can take up to two weeks for a fill to take affect.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
