Kim, the last two fill apointments I made were 2 weeks in advance and of course right before both fills I felt restriction, one of those fills I canceled back in November and went with that fill level for 3 more months, yesterday I had my 3rd fill and of course felt restriction 2 days leading up to it when days & weeks prior to that I had none which is why I made the appointment Personally I think alot of it for me is in my head..I got my 3rd fill like planned yesterday and am glad I did. Your period can play a role in restriction. When I have my period I get very restricted. My Dr. reccomends getting a fill one week after your period or 1 week before but not during since we retain Water during our cycles. It could be why you did not get much restriction from your first fill if you were having PMS and retaining water when the Dr. does your fill it may no tbe enough fill once you are no longer PMSing

Melissa,

Sorry to hear about your Grandmother. You've been given some great advice, so I really don't have anything to add except that bbq brisket has been a problem for me, too. I can only eat it chopped and with lots of BBQ Sauce, and even then I have to take it easy...

      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!
