I have not ask him. I was there with a group of people. And one of them had been bandit for about 6 weeks and he told her she did not need one. But she also was alot bigger then (I hate to say that):) . He did tell us if we fill hungry 2 hours after we eat then we need a fill.

thanks

The decision to get a fill should be made between you and your doctor after you have a talk about how things are going. There are several factors to be considered, how much you are able to eat in one sitting, how soon afterwards before you begin to feel hungry again, what your average weight loss is, and if you are able to get food down without any problems to name a few. I would ask for another appointment to meet with him without a group of people present so you can specifically discuss your case privately.

I would say time for a fill! I got my first fill the first day of my 6th week out from surgery,,,before that, I could eat anything, just in smaller amounts as my swelling went down...

      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!
