Fill or no Fill/Cruise in 28 days!



Recommended Posts

This is silly, but I really need the advise. I was filled in May and was too tight. I have lost weight since then and am now eating like crazy. My next dr. appt. is on the 9th (two days) and I am not sure what to do. I have been at my current weight for at least three weeks now (bouncing btwn about 4 pounds). I know I need a slight! fill, but am not sure I want to do that before the cruise. Any advice out there. This is the first time I have ever been out of the country.

BTW... My husband gets banded one week before I leave.... He would not put it off and it's a girl cruise.

Pray for us!

I would get a small fill. I got a fill 2 weeks ago and I am back to normal now. I have restriction but I'm not too tight. You have 28 days to see how it feels and you can go in for an unfill before the cruise if it is too tight.

Good luck to you and your husband. I will keep you both in my prayers.

Shelly,

I agree with Jill. 28 days is a long enough way off that you could get a bit unfilled if you're still uncomfortable after a couple of weeks. Think how much you could get off before the cruise! Sounds like a great motivator to me!

Good luck to your hubby. Hope things go well!

I agree with the above, you'll have lots of time to unfill if you're too tight before you go .... although if you want to indulge a bit on your cruise I wouldn't. I know, I know, we're here for weightloss, but sometimes it's nice not to worry about only eating a tablespoon for supper on vacation! So to indulge or not to indulge - that is the question.

I would change your appointment until after the cruise. I'd hate to be out in the middle of the ocean with problems. You never you know you might lose weight with all the activities they have on there. I went on a cruise about 15 years ago and had a ball. Enjoy!

      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.

        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!
