Fill Or No Fill



Recommended Posts

I JUST DON'T KNOW IF I NEED A FILL. I LOST WEIGHT RIGHT AFTER MY FILL WHICH WAS 12/3, BUT DON'T SEEM TO BE LOSING ANYMORE. FOR THE FIRST TIME I CAN'T EAT Breakfast (SOLIDS) IN THE MORNING AND I CAN'T EAT MUCH meats BUT EVERYTHING ELSE GO DOWN FINE. I DON'T HAVE TO SIP MY Water , IT GOES DOWN GOOD. I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. DO I NEED A FILL? OR NOT? IF I DO I NEED TO SCHEDULE MY APPT NOW, I MIGHT GET SOMETHING IN JANUARY. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?:help:

If it were me I'd say no fill. When I'm tight (like right now) I can't eat most meats, ground turkey is the exception. But a lot can change in a few weeks, especially in the beginning (i assume you're in the beginning since your ticker is at 11 pounds down). I'd call your dr and ask if you can schedule an appointment and possibly cancel it with 2-3 days notice, just incase you don't end up needing a fill. I know my drs office permits this as long as I call about 4 days before the appointment.

There are 2 types of restriction. Restriction to liquids and restriction to solids. Restriction to liquids demands an unfill. If you have restriction to solids I would recommend trying softer food first. If you start to lose again on a softer diet you need to make up your mind if you want to stay there. Sorry I can't be of much more help.

I am in the same spot right now, I can eat ground beef and turkey but no other meats-i have good restriction- my dr has me come in once a month regardless so if I do not need a fill I won't get one- I would say make an appt for a couple of weeks from now and then if by then you feel you are not restricted go in, if not reschedule for the following month.

      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.

        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!
