First Fill !!!!



Recommended Posts

I had my 1st fill yesterday afternoon. I was 6 weeks out. I had a good brunch before going to the doctors. He added 1cc to the 3cc already in the band from surgery. I am guessing most of that is in the tubing going from the port to the band itself. I tried to get him to tell me what band and size I give, but he skirted the answer for some reason. I am guessing that since I have 4 cc, must be one of the 10 cc bands. I am going to try and get the nurse to tell me next time. He also told me not to come back for 6 weeks??? I am not hungry this first day while I am on liquids. Will have to wait a couple to days to see.

I had my first fill about 5 weeks out and it was 4.5cc in a 10cc band. My doc said not to go hungry, but call right back if it wasn't enough. I quickly discovered I needed more, but due to my own schedule, couldn't get down there until this Friday. Can't wait to get more of a fill. I'm starving.

I am down 3 lbs since I got my fill on monday. OF course, I was on liquids the last 2 days. Eating tuna for lunch today and fill a little more restriction then before.

My first fill was a nightmare!!! My vagus nerve was overstimulated by the adding saline / drinking Water cycle and I almost passed out twice, then I threw up about 8 times. My doctor said he never had a patient get sick during a fill...I was the first.

I had my 2nd fill today and it went okay...I felt like I was going to pass out once, but after I laid down for about 5 minutes I was fine.

1st fill - 1cc

2nd fill - 3 cc

Wow, Kalia, your doing good with 36 lbs lost. I won't get my next for 6 weeks, which is a suprise. I guess if I don't lose any weight, or its very slow I can call and get one.

We will have to see. I feel full most all day, but, like most others, I am hungry before bed!!!

      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.

      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!
