First Fill at 7 wks Postop



Recommended Posts

Was surprisingly easy. Numbed then 2 cc in my 10 cc band. Since surgery day on 12/21/12 went from 262 to 226 today. The PA was surprised. I told her it was simply will power at this point and using my fitness pal app. Wish I could keep up this rate of loss but know it will slow. Still have to start exercising as well.

Wow! That is inspiring. I am going to be banded on Mar 4 (start my pre-op) on Feb 18 and am only starting about 5 lbs less than you so I hope I have the same results!! Good luck on your journey and keep up the good work =)

Wow! with a weight loss like that, I am surprised that the PA gave you a fill, my surgeon's office would not! You are doing fantastic, keep the weightloss up!

You are doing so great!!! I have more than you to loose and I lost half of what you lost since surgery date. I lost about 20 since surgery 7 weeks ago (I'll know when i go next week), and 13 on my pre op. I LOVE watching the scale go down and the clothes getting more roomy.

It feels so good right?

I added you on MFP.

      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!
