2nd fill: works daytime, but not at night



Recommended Posts

I just got my 2nd fill and it's working well until late afternoon, smile but it doesn't seem to have any effect toward evening–and that's my hardest time.

Suggestions? Has this happened to you?

Hello Maire, I often find that my band is tighter during the morning up until around 10am for me then it losens up a bit for afternoon and night. Until you have the "sweet spot" of a fill you'll probably have fluctuations in restriction during the day. Unfortunately, the head hunger part doesn't go away and takes practice not to indulge. Perhaps making sure you eat Protein first in the afternoon/evening time would help you stay full longer. Good luck

I had the exact same issue after my second fill too. Good restriction all day but by evening the band felt almost non-existent. My doctor wanted me to wait a few weeks before I got another fill. They suggested I add a high Protein late afternoon snack, which did help.

After a few weeks restriction was becoming less during the rest of the day and I finally got another fill. Now I can definately eat more comfortably during the evening but get full very quickly.

      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!
