Hi everyone, My name is Terri and I live in a SMALL mountian town in Arizona. I was banded on 11/19/04 I have lost about 35lba. I had my first fill of 3.0cc's on 12/22/04. I felt a little restriction a first but not much. Now I feel NO restriction at all. I am going in for another fill on Tuesday 5th. I haven't gone in sooner because it is a 3 hr drive to get there and the last time I had a fill I got a stress fracture in my foot from standing so long (15 min) in the flo scope. Let me explain why that was tough on me. I have a spinal disease called H.S.P. and I walk with crutches or a walker. My Dr. (Robert Berger) ask me if I though I could stand that long and I said I world give it a try. Well I did it and everything was ok until the next day. went to ER and was told I had a stress fracture. I'm walking again and my Dr. said this time we will do it laying down. (the fill you dirty minds)

Anyway, This has been a great experience and I am very excited about the up and coming NEW ME. I am taking pictures on the 19th of every month to see my progress. Can't wait until I don't take up so much camera space. I have looked at all of your before and after pic. and they are all TERRIFIC!!

Terri - I'm not familiar with that area. We always went to Tucson. My DH Dad lived there and we went out and spent a couple of weeks every year. He has passed away now, so we haven't been there for a couple of years, but he has an Aunt that is pretty special and she is getting old, so we would like to make one more trip to see her.

      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!
