OMG, and I thought I had restriction, 4th fill



Recommended Posts

Well,

I know, might deep subject for such a shallow mind. After I got done shopping all week in Nashville I noticed a sign that said Cinci was closer from there than from home, only 4 hours that way and I usually have to drive 5 so I didn't have an appt. but Dr. Curry's office is so fabulous they said just drive on up and we'll work you in. I only had to weight 5 min. and they called me back and I had only lost 5 pounds in the past 4 weeks so I told him I would like to go aggresive if possible this time, well I got my wish, LOL. He took me to 3 cc's in a 4cc's band, hit it first time, this is the first fill I swear I didn't feel a thing. He sprays it with numbing spray first. Well, I've been gone since Monday so I thought well, I will stay overnight and make sure I'm not too tight, plus he is speaking at a big seminar next weekend in Lexington and he told me if I was too tight just come to the seminar and he kinda laughed. IM TIGHT. It's kind of a good feeling but also scary. I've read all the horror stories. I mean I can still eat but like tonight I could go to mushies so I tried some pureed tuna fish and after 2 bites OMG, tight. They usually loosen up after 2 weeks so I hope this one is the one.

Just thought I would share because I read all the time about how do you know if you have restriction well I now know that you WILL know. LOL.

Hope everyone is doing great.

      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!
