Headed in for an unfill:(



Recommended Posts

Tried to make it work, but I couldn't even make it back to the solid phase. Like even salmon or small bites of chicken. Chewing 30

Times and putting fork down for 1 minute. So then hungry and wanting junk. Hopefully this helps. I can't throw up again.

This is what your partnership with the surgeon is all about -- you two will work to get that fill just right. No throwing up, that's not okay! Let us know how you're doing. Best wishes!

Great decision. You don't want to throw up. That's not normal. Be patient you will get there.

Good call my friend! You have to make the band work with you and for you not against you. There is no "right" way if it doesn't work for you then it's not right. :) Hope your feeling great again soon!!

Thanks guys! She said she could tell I was very tight from the pressure the Fluid was pushing into her syringe. She checked band under fluoro and said everything looks great. Saw a big gas bubble from food not being able to go down! 48 hours of fluids and then hopefully I'll be able to eat again!

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
