First Fill



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill July 30th. I felt no differnet than a did the day before. I am starving and my stomach growels non stop and to make it worse I have not lost anything in almost three weeks. My fill was .25, is that a small amount? Ugh... does it get better?

My doctor told me to come back in 4 weeks but because of their schedule I was told I would have to wait 7 weeks to see him. I tried to explain to the lady that I was told to come back in 4 weeks and I was still starving but she told me I could come in at my scheduled time or wait another 2 weeks until their next appointment. So now i have a doctor closer to home and no more 3 1/2 hour drives for me...

Wish me luck with the new Dr.

I didn't feel anything until my third fill and didn't reach the green zone until my fourth fill. It's different for everybody.

Wishing you the best with the new dr! I had my first fill last week.. and I am on regular food and feeling no restriction, I am going to wait a few more days and then call my doc. I cannot go too long without a fill, I dont want to gain too much back!

      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.

      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!
