Anyone not feel restriction yet?



Recommended Posts

I'm glad to see all the responses to my thread. I am still not feeling the restriction. I just got another fill two days ago and am at 7cc in my 10cc band. I have been on liquids for the past two days and decided to stay on for a few more days just to get a jump-start on the weight loss. I gues once I really eat a piece of chicken or something I will know for sure if I am restricted but the liquids are just sailing down! I guess 7ccs is pretty aggresive compared to what some people are getting. I will update when I eat real food again. Fingers crossed that I will finally feel it!

My doctor makes sure you have restriction everytime he does a fill. So I hate to hear your dont have restriction. That sucks.

I am lucky to have an agressive doctor.

I do want to let you guys know that I think I am feeling some restriction! I have had a few times when I swallow some chicken (maybe I didn't chew enough) where I feel like it is having a hard time passing. It hurts going down. This is not all food, just meat and big chunks of things. I think I am the only person who is happy to get something stuck! It proves to me that restriction is on the way. I am thinking for my next fill maybe I should ask for only .50 cc intsead of the whole 1cc he usually does. Anyway, just wanted to tell you guys that I am somewhat relieved and to hang in there!

Good for you...No I was thrilled when I had my first stuck issue...Now I hope NOT to have them. PMS is a bitch with the band.

      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!
