Second fill later today



Recommended Posts

Lucy, My dr told me to come in every 2 weeks if necessary to maintain good restriction. I can feel it getting tighter since fill 2, so I should be ok for a while. Hopefully you will get to the point of good restriction soon. It does help during those moments that my willpower slackens off..

Lucy-That would make me really mad if my dr told me that. The reason you (or your insurance company) paid him umpteen thousand dollars for the band was to help you with your appetite and be able to do all those other things that you weren't able to do totally on your own. It's very frustrating when that band is not working. I'm going for my 2nd fill tomorrow and hoping for more restriction after that because at this point, I have not lost any since I started mushies about 6 weeks ago. My aftercare center has also told me to come in every 2-3 weeks as necessary. Good luck!

Hello All, Hey Dave, you are right. A little over a week from my second fill and it seems the restriction is getting tighter. There are times when I feel like I can't eat anything. I have gone back to a Protein drink to make sure I am getting the Protein and calories I need to keep losing. I am not going to make my Thanksgiving goal :faint: but I'll be there by Sunday. Take care all!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
