First fill this Thursday!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I'm happy to see that more Canucks are posting and really happy to see some headway made in the Canadian Forum!

Just thought I'd share that I'm getting my first fill in 2 more days. I'm not nervous about the procedure at all. I'm really looking forward to it and hope that it won't take me long to feel some restriction and start seeing the scale move again. I've been super "good" and exercising like a mad woman but the scale doesn't move as much as I would like. I think it might be the evil PCOS! But I am losing inches so I'm trying not to worry too much about the # on the scale!

Everyone keep up the good work.

:)

Hey Yoda,

A western Canadian here. Good luck with your fill. I see my Dr this Friday for the first time since my surgery. I hope to book my first fill for the first week of July. I really don't feel l have much of restriction now. Do you know what kind of band you have.

Go Oilers!!!

Thanks Argon, I hope I can book my fill!

I found out that I have the 11cc Vanguard band and that they will put 4cc in on the first fill. Does this sound right?:)

Hi AMF101! I was banded in Toronto on April 24'06 and am due for my first fill on Monday. They told me that I can expect 4 to 5 cc fill. A little nervous. Soooooo, I think that sounds about right to me.

      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!
