DH and I were suppose to get our first fill on Dec 5. Unfortunately, he is going to the Floridia Keys that week:rolleyes:, so we can't get in until Dec 19.

My Dr appt is the 11th but I doubt I will be filled because I am not the least bit hungry and that is what they look for.

I am not at all upset by that. I can only eat about 1/4 of food max at a sitting, so I think I have some restriction going on.

Geeee. I WISH I could only eat a 1/4 cup at a time. I limit it to a cup (as per doc's instructions), but I could eat more. I did once and regretted it. LOL I stay at a cup and feel a *little* bit unsatisfied, but doing my best to get away from the table. So yes, I have a little bit of restriction, but not where it should be. I'm limiting my daily calories under 900 and so far haven't gone over 800.

With a band date of 11/1/07, I think my fill is later than most of you...1/8/08. My doctor is very conservative and will not fill for anything more than two months at a time...and if I am still losing, (which I am because I am up to four times a week of cardio and weight training-hired a trainer), I think I will have lost quite a bit and don't know if I will get the fill...but we will see.

solaa - That's what I'm worried about with mine. I have no idea if he'll say "no fill" if I'm still losing. But really, I'm just eating a lot less than I used to by choice. The beginning of a diet is always the easiest and most thrilling - the weight drops right off. But I know I'm going to need that fill to keep going. If I find out he won't fill because I'm still losing, I guess I'll have to go back and eat more. :P

I was banded on 1 Nov and my first fill is next Wed, 12 Dec. I think I am now ready for a fill. Even though I have been eating under 900 cals a day, I have noticed in the last few days that I could eat a little more.

I was banded on Nov. 5th. So far I've lost 31lbs since surgery and I definately can tell I have restriction. I just saw my Dr. this morning. He and I are very pleased with how things are going. He is also very conservative with fills. I have nothing scheduled right now. I will see him again in 2 months. Maybe by then I'll need something.

My first fill is Dec. 17th. I've needed a fill since 2 weeks out! lol I want to start losing weight again. I'm envious of those people who have restriction without a fill.

      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!
