Third fills the charm!



Recommended Posts

Had third fill last Wednesday. Back on track and broke the plateau. Lost 3 lbs since last Wednesday. I still haven't had anything get stuck. Knock on wood! I am 6 cc in a 10 cc band. I can still chug Water though. Any thoughts on if you are supposed to be able to chug water with no problems?

I was told you should always be able to chug. It's hard enough trying to get it all in and not run to the bathroom all the time!

i would imagine if you can't chug Water than the band is too tight... least i hope so. living in AZ being able to chug water is the only way i make it through the summer.....

Congrats to you! 3 was my magic number as well, I have 5.5cc's in a 10cc band. No fills since August 17th, nice steady weight loss even when my calories have been over for that week.

Congrats on breaking the plateau!

I asked the same question about Water and from what I have been reading, not being able to chug Water may be a sign you are too tight or close to it. I could be wrong though. I can chug water, but I am not at the green zone yet.

Awesome! I just had my 2nd fill and for the first time I feel major restriction. I think my surgeon filled me more than he usually would becuase I had gained weight between my first and second fill.

I cannot chug Water at all. Sip sip sip or I PB it right back up. And I think I Am what is considered green....

Water should be able to go down easily. If it isn't, you are probably too tight. If you do your fills under endoscopy, that is what they are looking for, to make sure Fluid flows through easily.

      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!
