Getting a de fill at one week



Recommended Posts

Well....I called the clinic today as it is one week and still cannot burp.:sick I get a lot of pain in my chest.:cry It is also hard to get down liquid everything is sipping even Water. I talked to the nurse who advised me that I had about 2 cc's in my band from the surgery and we can take out the liquid. Hopefully this will cause some releif.:wacko: I will let you all know how that goes.

Sorry to hear that Sweet - hopefully the defill will give you time for your stomach to heal and then you can start over in a few weeks. Hang in there.

I am doing really good! I was super sore the first two days, especially getting in and out of bed...ouch! That is still the worst...that and the gas pain.

I really like Dr. Cobourn and the staff at the clinic. I was hoping to see Michee online, because she had surgery the same day as me.

This is something interesting. In the recovery room the girl after me was thrashing around on her bed she was totally freaking me out, it hurt like a son-of-a-gun to get up and into the wheel-chair. I keep thinking about that girl and her stitches and band. The staff was cracking me up. "Dear, please stop doing that". It's now day 3 and I am up and about, and feeling good. I never though I would say this, but I was so happy to have my opti-fast this morning, I was so hungry.

I didn't mean to hijack your thread Sweet! I am glad you are feeling better. :clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

      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!
