It has officially been six months since my surgery And I have yet to Feel restriction I thought it was because they were only giving me .1 mL every time I went in But on this last bill I talked her into giving me a half a cc She looked astonished and said it would not take it all Which is weird because I only should have 4 mL in my 10 Cc band. So she decided to check to see how much Fluid was in there and she could not get anything out. Acted like that was normal and sent me on my way. That does not seem normal to me especially since I am not feeling any restriction . Has anyone ever came across this problem?

Thats very odd. If she could not get any Fluid out, then she should have sent you in for an xray. Did you ask if there was a problem? Have you tried calling the doctors office for advise?

No Fluid came out of my tubing either and the Doc did give me an xray and founf there was a "bend" in the tubing and thought it may move and rectify itself.

However, although he didn't panic....he did seem concerned that if it didn't rectify itself...he would need to go back in and do it. He was concerned enough.

I would talk more to your surgeon about this.

Good luck!

I would definitely call Doctor about that. The Fluid had to go somewhere.

Thank you guys! Come to find out the nurse was hit and miss its a long story but they finally actually located my port which apparently is in a tuff spot or turned or something and gave me a good fill! I now have 6.5 cc in my 10 cc band and for my first time ever I feel totally restricted it was a long 5 months of no loosing but I am already making up for it! Since the fill I have lost 6 lb which was 3 days ago! So excited! Did anyone else take this long to finally get to your sweet spot? I'm curious?

      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.

        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!
