Fluid Loss??



Recommended Posts

I was banded in september, I have the 11cm band that I believe holds 10cc. I had my first fill in november of 4cc. January I had another fill of 1.3cc, bringing me up to 5.3cc. They checked and the first fill was still in the band. I had good restriction for a week or so and called to schedule another fill. I went in yesterday for a fill and there was only 1.3cc left in my band. I wanted to cry right there. The nurse who does my fills (under fluoro) said not to get too upset that it happens sometimes. I dont understand. If it is leaking I would expect it to be empty right? I am supposed to check back next week if I don't feel any restriction in a couple of days.

I am so confused, any help is greatly appreciated. I have only lost 25 pounds since september and that all came off within the first 3 weeks. I have bounced 2 pounds up and down here and there. I feel like such a failure and now if my band is leaking I don't know what I will do. I was a self pay in Mexico and have spent 375 three times for fills. I am broke and not losing. IT SUX

Help me, tell me it's going to be ok

:( :think :)

      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!
