First fill scheduled--next MONTH!



Recommended Posts

Argh. I've been so busy with a new job and all that I completely spaced on having a 6-week postop checkup. So it wasn't until more than 8 weeks later that I went in, and got clearance to schedule my first fill. Then I did the phone-tag dance with the office for three days, and by the time I connected with someone it was a week later.

Finally I have my fill scheduled...on NOVEMBER 29!! Argh. It will be all I can do to maintain until then, but will have to face Thanksgiving with no restriction!! Oh boy. :rolleyes:

Hey Alex. I'm sorry to hear about your fill delay. Maybe they will have a cancellation and be able to get you in sooner. I hope everything else is going well. Are you finding this re-banding to be just like the first time around or is it a whole new ball game?

Hey Alex,

That wait is a bummer but the weight is even more of one! Just remember that over the holiday. You've been here before so just remember to make good choices. Good luck!

      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!
