First Fill



Recommended Posts

Tuesday I had My first fill.4-2-2014

After reading some post on here I was scared to death about the Horrible things that some had gone through Broken needles and blood soaked bandages...ect.

well I Must say the Np was amazing she talked to me about these fears and we went slowly as she explained each step along the way.

she filled the band fully then had me sit up and let the fluids drain down to replace the air that was in the band... then had me stand up as she showed me the band and the point on the screen.. then she added 3 cc's of Fluid had me drink the barium and we watched.. well the band was a little too tight she she removed 1/2 cc and then we did a repeat and everything was perfect then a drink of Water and it was done...

Next fill on the 21st and I am looking forward to this Appointment!

Today when I ate lunch I could feel the Differance then before but no discomfort.

Oh yes and I am down 2 more pounds as of this Morning.. I am starting to Love my band and this new chapter in my life.

      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.

        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!
