Ready for first fill tommorrow :) started having issues



Recommended Posts

I was banded on February 12th , have had no issues. I get my first fill tommorrow . This past Wednesday had my first run in with getting stuck and again last night .. And then just now .. All on food I've been eating on a regular basis. Should I be worried ?

hi.i had a few sticks after my last fill. I found out that after a stuck, with throwing up, it was best to go all liquid again. apparently there could be swelling and it would continue to keep sticking. So I went all liquid for two days, than mushy soft for two days and than solid. It seemed to work. Let your doc know. After a fill I think you have to do liquid only anyway. At least I know I do. Best of luck.

If you are sticking without a fill, you may not want to get one right away. Be sure your surgeon knows about the problems you are having. Getting tighter will not help you learn to eat the right size bites and chew. Make sure you are comfortable with how you are eating. Fills are not the end all. I know a lot of people who have gone over 9 months without a fill and are still losing.

      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!
