1st fill today!



Recommended Posts

To be honest, I was terrified how my fill was going to go. I have to say it wasn't bad at all... actually it was the weirdest feeling. My Dr. numbed me and then had to poke around a little, then put in 1cc and we were all done. I am doing really well getting my liquids down and even had some fruit for lunch, I can't eat as much at each sitting though, so that is good! AND I'm down 25 lbs since my surgery! WOOHOO!!! :whoo:

Has anyone else felt restricted after their first fill? Or even before 1st fill? I have... just wondering if this is the norm?

yes, I had pretty good restriction after my 1st fill...and my second....but both went away within a week or two. This third fill of mine seems to be holding well, but it was pretty darn tight for a couple of weeks! :D

I always get some restriction after a fill, but usually it goes away in a week or two. After I had a 5/6 fills, it held for me for over a year.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
