Hi :)

I was banded July 7th and I too have not had a fill, I am loosing a average of 2lbs every other week. I like you am hungry all the time but Im almost scared to eat to much. Im thinking maybe I'll get a fill the end of Aug? Kinda nervous for that first fill.

Your doing really good, keep it up.

I was banded June 8th dat of surgery I was 304 and currently 265 and my surgeon says I don't need a fill. I lost 27 lbs the first month and and 12lbs in 3 weeks that the average loss per month should be 10 lbs. so since I'm doing really well with diet and exercise I don't need one yet... Just evaluate ur eating and are you exercising and getting enough Water. It all makes a big difference in your weightloss.

My doctor did my first fill 1 month after surgery and then every 2 weeks until I hit the green zone. But from reading, it does seem each doctor has their own method.

But to me, the band is supposed to keep you from being hungry all the time.

I had surgery on June 5, 2012, and didn't get my first fill until July 27. I wanted a fill badly at my first appt., but my surgeon felt like I was doing well on my own. At my second appt, which was a month later, I had gained a pound. I received a 1 1/2 cc fill, which has helped a little.

If your that hungry you should have a fill. That's what determines if you get a fill the hunger. I went months also. I had to ask.

      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!
