Everyone feels different about the fill so here's my take:

I dont mind needles but for some reason this process makes me feel a little queasy, especially the part where he feels for the port..ewwww weird feeling. I have the fill with the use of a fluoroscope (sp) so I get to watch the white drink stuff flow before the fill and then sit and drain after the fill YAY.

When they tell you to have liquids, they mean it. Dont rush to get back to solid foods right away. My dr tells me liquids for 24 hours but I find it takes about 48 hours for me to feel ok about it. Dont forget to keep up with drinking your Water too and taking your Vitamins.

Also, dont be sad or discouraged if you dont feel "restriction". First off, its not actually restriction but feeling and STAYING satisfied is the feeling you are looking for. And after your first fill the staying satisfied part might last 1-2 weeks or maybe only a few days. Like I said, everyone is different.

Im excited for you too! I remember what that was like when I first got filled last month!!

      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!
