Make sure you go from liquids to mushy before solids. Some times people need to move a little slower so make sure you listen to your body. :)

HOw was it? I go for my first fill next week and I'm a little nervous. Full-blown surgery? No problem. Injection in the office? I'm jumpy. Go figure! :)

My Dr. uses some "freezy spray" to numb the area before injection, so no pain.

Just back from my first fill. Piece of cake....ehm, that may not be the best example here, huh? NO pain, a LITTLE pressure, but quick and easy.

Now, let the games begin. . . .

I had an unfill 24 post op it was brutal because of the swelling she had trouble gaining access into the port, only to find out the dr that did the unfill was not the dr that did my surgery and was unaware that I had a hernia repair so the rock I was feeling stuck in my chest was due to that not Fluid in the band.

Well that wasn't so bad I didn't get any numbing cream but it went quick I was just wondering will I start to fill more of a restriction when I'm able to go back in solids in a couple days ?

I had my first fill last Friday and I am definitely full quicker. Lost 5 pounds over the weekend on liquids. Did mushies until dinner then had a taco salad with no problem. I am staying active walking and counting my calories to maximize my loss into summer.

I would sooo love to be in onederland by June.

      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!
