Hey Guys,

I just had my surgery on 2/1/2016 and i can honestly say its going Great! i noticed that i can have more than 2oz per serving. I'm currently on Clear liquid diet, i should drink 2oz every 20 minutes. Which includes, Water, Protein Shake, clear broth, Jello, Decaf tea and coffee. My follow up appointment is on 2/8/2016. But i can actually drink about 6-8 ounces and get full but not to the point of wanting to vomit. I hope my Band is not to big.

Has thing happened to anyone else?

You've had no adjustments, as your band is in its infancy. It's loose. First adjustment is usually at about six weeks, but that can vary from one surgeon to another. For now, drink and eat, when it's time, in the amounts and on the schedule prescribed by yours.

You're fine.

My first fill was 4 weeks after surgery, and was 4cc's....between my first fill and my second fill I began to gain weight. Everything I had lost from the pre-surgery and the post surgery diet regime...

It took me a few months and a few good fills before I could tell the band was doing anything.

(and that brought on another set of challenges - lessons to learn)

So it is a process, not an instant thing as it is with other weight loss surgeries.

      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!
