Finally, A Little Restriction!



Recommended Posts

Had my 2nd fill today and I finally feel like I have some restriction. Hopefully I'll get this weight loss ball rolling!

My surgery date was May 18. I've lost about 25 llbs since my heaviest weight last fall.

I am so happy to hear that I'm not the only one out there who has not lost a lot wt. These are reporting 35 or 40 pound losses. I keep thinking I'm failing at this. Right now it's just like it was before each day I think I'm going to really stick to this diet today and by the time night comes I have blown it. My surgery was April 9th and I have only lost 6pounds. Somr restriction after my second fill two weeks go but no wt loss to report. I have 6cc in my 11 cc band.

I was banded 2/2/12 and some days I have restriction and a lot of days I don't. I have 6.2cc in a 10cc band. I go back on 7/30 for my next fill. I hope I get perminent restriction after this next fill. I have only loss 25 lbs so far. I need to loss 50 more. I need to get this ball rolling.

      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!
