3rd time lucky!



Recommended Posts

Just been along for my first fill! Had to wait ages for the doctor to turn up which was bad as i was getting so nervous.. so anyway it finally comes round to my turn and i'm shaking like a leaf ( i know.. i'm a wimp..) and then i laid down on the bed and he pressed around a bit to find my port. Once he had found it he cleaned the area then produced this HUGE needle :faint: . He pressed around a bt then put the needle in.. i must admit it did hurt a little bit but not terribly painful then he took the needle out and asked me to stand in front of the flouroscope thingy and i had to drink that discusting stuff and he watched it go down through the florouscope (sp?!) and declared that my band was still wide open! So back i went to the blooming table then he cleaned the area again then poked the needle in again (which actually hurt less that time!) then i repeated as before but this time when i drunk the stuff it didnt go through the band at all so it was much too tight! sooo .. you guessed it!.... back i went to the table and needle poked back in and he took a tiny bit out and then when i stood in front of the flouroscope and drank the yukky stuff it went through just right.. a very small stream so i was very relieved! Phew! he first put in 1cc then upped it to 2 but it was too much so he took out 1/2 a cc then he was happy. so i have 1.5 cc at the mo.. To be honest i prefer that he checked it out there and then instead of just doing the one injection and sending me away wide open.. this way its kinda more accurate! Lets hope i see some results!! I'm on my way to looserville! whoop! :dance:

      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!
