Do Your Fills Take Awhile To Kick In?



Recommended Posts

I was filled on Aug. 16, but it seems that I have only had good restriction in the last couple of days. Does this happen to anyone else?

First the swelling has to go down so it an take time to feel. You not feel total restriction after one fill you need a bunch.

I've had 3 fills and still have no restriction. I've read that it can take days or a couple of weeks. I keep hoping that I'll wake up one day and have it. I have 4.4 cc in an 11 cc band.

May need more fills as you go along. I've had times where I would fill like I was in green zone for just a couple weeks then get hungry again. I knew I needed another full but my appointment woyld not be for two or three weeks, which can be tough because you know you may struggle to lose. It's hard to wait, just concentrate on Protein and exercise until you can get in. The green zone will happen and you will know it when it does.

It always seemed that my fills would take a week or two before they would 'kick in'. It was so strange.

I haven't gotten my first fill yet but it seems like everyone is different.

      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!
