I was banded on May 20th with the Realize Band. I am feeling pretty good so far. I don't go for a fill until the end of June I think.

I was banded 5/12 with the Realize band. I just had my two week post-op visit today. I'm not feeling a whole lot of restriction but I am eating less than pre-surgery at any rate.

We are going to Disney World June 22nd and I asked about getting a fill before I go, but was told they would wait and would do it right after I get back since that is basically right at the 6 week mark and if they fill me and then I end up needing an unfill but stuck in Florida with no where to get one that might not be good.

So, I'll go enjoy my vacation (but not too much if you know what I mean) and hopefully the real weight loss will start after the end of June.

Wishing everyone a good outcome!

I was Realize banded on May 15th. I'm feeling very mild restriction (or maybe I'm imagining it because I want it to be there). I'm doing a good job at making healthy choices and keeping portions pretty reasonable. I get my first fill June 12th.

Thanks for responding. Seems we are all at about the same place. Even with 2cc's I don't have a lot of restriction. I do find the slower I eat it is easier to recognize full. I am really only eating protien. Trying to stay away from carbs as long as possible!! Good luck to everyone.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
