I had my first fill on September 11. That day and days to follow I felt no different. Then on Monday I had made this really hearty beef barley Soup, you could say stew. It was a crock pot recipe and was fabulous. I measured put my small serving and sat with hubby to eat. I toasted some bread for my hubby and tore off a very small piece. Dipped it into the remains in my bowl and thought I chewed it well. And well it happened - it was stuck. Wow, what pain. As an old habit I grabbed Water, well what a mistake that was. Unfortunately it had to come up. Then tonight, while eating dinner I had the same issue with Beans. I tried to analyze was I eating too quick,not chewing well or too big a bite. Not sure but again same situation. Is it possible that after a week, the fill kicked in? Guidance would be appreciated. That pain from being stuck is horrible.

I've noticed the band getting tighter after a fill. Strange but it does happen.

      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!
