i'm set to have an appointment next week, and likely my first fill at 6 weeks post op too....but i'm contemplating canceling the appointment.

If i'm losing the weight, should I still get a fill? Hearing positive outcomes of a fill is encouraging, but all the same, shouldn't I wait till i'm stagnant on the scale or until I need a boost to keep losing?

What's everyone else think?

The fill is just a took to aide with not feeling hungry all the time, so if your eating 3 meals a day....and not feeling hungry in between ...don't fix what's not yet broken lol don't cancel your appointment though as you can discuss with you dietician and through effective question can help you decide whether you need a fill or not. Hope this helps .....I'm not due for my first fill till 22 this month, but I can only make Saturday appointments so have to wait till next month. At the moment I don't feel hungry between meal,...it takes me 40-50 mins to eat a very small meal (young child size) so I am happy to wait, but I do talk to my dietician on the phone or by email :-)

I was seriously thinking the exact same thing?! But I won't cancel my appt till the very last minute-just in case. I figure if I get a fill, I will get a very small one, because I feel like I am losing steadily without it, why mess with it?

      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!
