Weird, weird, weird!

Hi Alex,

I'm scheduled to have a slight fill on monday since my 2.5( in a 4 cc band) doesn't seem to be the 'sweet spot'. After weeks of feeling almost no restriction, the past coupla days, it's been great,very little hunger and a lot more control. when you had that experience, were you glad you went for the fill anyway?

Hi Glitz,

I would have been worried about getting a fill after that awful PB, but my doctor uses fluoro so I knew he'd be able to see what was enough. I got the fill and everything was fine.

But now you've made me wonder about something! This fill seemed to have never been as tight as I'd had before, and now I'm thinking that the PB I had the day before might have rendered me a little swollen that day. Maybe I never did have the restriction I would otherwise have had? Hmmm....that would explain a lot, actually.

Think, think, think...

That is funny about the seaweed. I love sushi and don't hesitate to eat it when its around. I also can eat poptarts (if I am inclined to) and most breads, Pasta, rice and tortillas. The problem is my chewing. Anything can give me a problem if it isn't chewed well enough. Best of luck to you all, Teresa

Alex,

Funny you should bring this up....I was just thinking "Gee....I might need a fill.... I can eat almost anything I want" Until tonight of course.....when if allowed to....I would have eaten myself into a carbohydrate slumber! My old trusted friend Pasta and marinara sauce showed up (Ok....so I cooked it) and 3 bites into it the old golf ball reminded me......screamed at me....."NOT SO FAST!" Literally....my old eating habits reappeared as If they never missed a beat as I attempted to scoff down a healthy size bowl of Pasta, sauce and assorted meats with more cheese than one cow could have provided!

How quickly one can revert to one's old eating habits.....if it weren't for my not so new and trusted friend.....the band!

I dont need a fill just yet......I need to continue on the path I was on before I got detoured....or lured away by old habits that will never go quietly, that are always lurking in the shadows! Thankfully.....my band is always one step ahead! I love 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.

      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!
