scared to remove fill



Recommended Posts

I got banded in 2007 and have gone from 300lbs to 150lbs. I've had some liquid taken out, put back in due to two pregnancies but now I'm back to 150lbs and I'm still losing weight so today I have an appointment to take a little out to stop losing weight.

Problem is........

I'm petrified of gaining weight.

I don't know if it's a mental thing or what but I'm petrified. I'm almost about to not show up at my appointment. I like being thin, I like being able to fit into things and what if I take out .5 and I gain weight? In my second pregnancy, they took out 1cc for my baby and I gained about 40 or 50 lbs. which is normal I was pregnant but it's still over what a person should gain.

I'm scared and I don't know what to do. Do I go? Do I not go?

I think you may be over thinking it. Talk to your surgeon about your fears. Congrats on getting back to goal weight again. What an amazing feat in itself! Worse case scenario...you go back for a fill. You have done the hard work...you know what you should do and what you shouldn't do. Your band is there to help...not be what dictates your behaivor.

You got this! Congrats again.

      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!
