I like your post because it's a good reminder that fills follow us for a life time. Newbies may expect that once they reach green that that's it. No more fills. However, weight loss, pregnancy, complications and even saline evaporation etcetc may warrant unfills and fills throughout our journey. I got a fill last May, first one in 3.5 years. I was ready to get back on track and my last fill was maintaining me at 195, my new fill maintains me at 155. Thanks for the post

I am at 153 was 241. But I am still nervous I am too tight everything stays down and nothing is conning back up !!! But I can only eat literally half of what is was eating before Tuesday ! That's why I am afraid I am too tight. But no sliming , no vomiting and I had salad today with chicken on it and ate about half then I could feel it when I burped a little then I knew it was time to stop. I am scared I guess cause I know a friend that would eat three bites and be full full and her bmd slipped !

are you feeling satisfied after eating a few bites, or are you feeling discomfort and pain? If its not pain, then I wouldn't assume that you have a slipped band.

I would disagree. Signs of slippage usually involve nausea, new onset of acid reflux, ability to eat larger portions suddenly or the opposite-difficulty eating/drinking at all, sometimes abdominal pain etc. The fact that you are asymptomatic can mean that your band is on the tighter end of your green zone. I would food journal and ensure that you are getting adequate protein/nutrition and fluids. If not, than you are too tight, simply because you can not take in minimum nutritional requirements. Sometimes a mere 0.1-0.5cc removed will keep you green but allow you to eat more and consume your minimum nutrition. I always recommend being on the loser side of green to prevent complications such as erosion, slippage etc. It's not necessary to be so tight you become symptomatic or cannot eat properly. Being day 3 you can still be inflamed, just depends on how much of a fill you added. I noticed I am much more sensitive to fills now that Im 3.5 yrs out. At 6cc I could not swallow Water at 5.5 I'm at green. :)

Well I will keep a eye out on what I eat ! So I have no more nausea ! I only had it for a hour ! I was making my self nervous. I was able to eat a small salad with chicken today and some chicken salad and some carrots and I will have some chicken for dinner. The only weirdness I have is just a slight tightness in my chest! But I called the dr today ! They said as long as I am not bringing anything back up just see how I am untill Monday ! I think now I am a little hesitant to eat. I got really scared yesterday cause I was burping but I burp a lot since ingot the band. And just a little more salvia when eating. But other then that I have no problems. This has been my fist fill in a year .

I had my first fill 2 days ago and I have a little tightness in my chest after I eat too. Everything goes down fine and no sliming. I hope that doesn't mean the food is sitting on top of my band! I can't imagine that's what it is because I can drink Water during this feeling just fine.

Well, since you are okay, now, can't add to much, drehn88. Just want to advise that you might want to stick to liquids following a fill for a day or two! Bets wishes to all newbies and oldbies, tooKaren

Now I can eat everything ! Today no issues at all

The oh thing I worry is during my cycle. So I going to see my dr to let her take out a 1/4 of what they put in just to be on the safe side. Cause I have not tried to eat a full plate yet with chicken and veggies. Had some lunch meat roast need today and no prob but if it is denser something may go wrong. Rather be safe then sorry

      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!
