to fill or not to fill, that is the question...



Recommended Posts

Okay, I'm not sure if I should get another fill or not. I'm at 1.5 in a 4cc band. I have some good restriction, but lately I notice, espeically being home this week, that I'm able and wanting to eat more than I was a few weeks ago.

I don't have any illusions that a fill will help me lose weight, I'm mostly okay with it. Well, that's a lie, but we will go with it anyway.

Should I get a fill for the psychological need or should I just not bother, since it won't affect my weight one way or the other.

Should I get a fill for the psychological need or should I just not bother, since it won't affect my weight one way or the other.

Then I would suggest not getting it. I also have a 4 cc and am at 1.5 cc with pretty good restriction at this time. I don't know how true this statement is but my friends doctor told her that he won't go beyond 3cc's in her 4 cc band because the tighter you are there's more chance of errosion. So if you don't need it and you can get away with less fills, I think your better off. JMHO.

Good luck with what ever you decide to do.

HUGS !!

Okay, I am SOOOO glad I took your advice and didn't get a fill.

I almost NEVER PB, but several times this week I've tossed my proverbial Cookies. Today, I PB'd on some very expensive brie.

Looks like top ramman/egg drop Soup for dinner tonight. Again.

Expensive brie? You poor thing. Why is it that when a PB happens it has to be something like that? I LOVE brie!!! Did you at least enjoy the chewing? I sure hope so :D

      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.

      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!
