Long time between fills...question



Recommended Posts

:help: Hi everyone. It has been 18mths since my last fill. Since then I have had a baby but no fill removed (3cc). I started gaining slowly about a year ago but then I was pregnant so didn't get a fill.

I have a little restriction(only in terms of not eating dry meats or fresh bread but not in amount of food I consume) I have forgotten what its like to have proper restriction and know when to stop. I am gaining again from emotional eating and am hoping that a fill will put a stop to that. What do you think?

I am not making really bad choices of food, just too much. I seem to never feel full and satisfied, its like not being banded at all.

:phanvan I am getting really upset about gaining, it is really starting to get to me. Does anyone else have a similar experience?

IMO I think you need to continue to make the good food choices and get a fill :) Sounds to me that it maight be time, What does your Dr say? Has it been 18 months since you have seen your Dr?

I think its about time for me to get another small fill too...Just dont have the 175.00 yet lol

Thanks for your reply. I saw my doctor last October but didn't have a fill because I was pregnant.

Hopefully will see him in a couple of weeks. He told me to come back 6wks post baby birth, which is next week.:biggrin1:

I am sure glad I am in Australia! (I am assuming you are not...)My fills only cost me AUD$85 and I get about $57 of that back through our health system, PLUS because of where I am living I also get flown to my surgeon by our health system.(This doesn't apply if you live in a regular town or city though..)

Only you know if you truly need a fill. But IMHO it sounds like your ready for one. I never really knew what restriction was until my last fill WHOOOT love it. Good Luck and congrats on the baby :)

      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.

      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!
