What's the chances of recovering from a slip without surgery?



Recommended Posts

Update - I did go in and the slip resolved itself. It's so hard for me to read the X-rays as much as I'm trying to! I like to know what it looks like and when it's not right. They said they don't do a full unfill unless bad. With smaller slips they take some out like mine so not all the restriction goes away. They put .25 cc back in. He thought it looked to slow at .50. I think it's ok. It's not as restricted and I'm hungry more (don't like). I really am not eating more but I'm worried as my weight is rising. I learned one thing . I prefer very tight. I'm going to try and loose or maintain at least and it I can't will ask for another .25. The unfill did resolve the heartburn almost completely.

I knew an unfill would resolve most of the issues... I've been there so many times when i had my band.

It sounds like you are almost in the green zone actually.

When you are in the green zone you feel "hunger" but you get restriction.... it shouldn't be painful or tight.

Surprisingly i lost more weight when i was in the green zone than when it was too tight.

Try not to get large fills from this point, only really tiny fills... its amazing how only a tiny bit too much can drive you into the red zone.

Glad everything got resolved... all the best on your journey

      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.

      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!
