Im going today to have some removed.. I went yesterday and the removed all my flood to see how much was in there .. I had 7.5 and have not had a fill since jan.. He put that back and added .5 now I can't even get liquids down:(

Just wondering how long it will take for me to be able to drink again after he removes some

If he removes some and you still can't swallow some Water, he needs to take some more Fluid out, a little at a time until you can drink Clear Liquids. Don't leave his office without testing the fill by drinking some water. Especially on a Friday! You could have a really miserable weekend with a band that's too tight.

:) You could help "train" the new doc. Someone's gotta do it! Tell him/her that you need to test the fill before you leave the office and don't let him/her leave the room until you're both satisfied that everything's OK.

      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!
