I had my first fill on July 9th last Wednesday. After three days I feel like I am right back to where I was before the fill. I am still getting hungry especially in the evenings. Does this mean that I need to go in for another fill right away or do I have to wait a period of time. I am really confused. :confused2:

I remember when I was getting my first few fills, wondering if they would ever last for more than a few days. Well, I just got my 10th fill and have finally hit the sweet spot. It takes some time to get there, so don't feel discouraged. As long as you are losing 1 - 2 pounds per week you are doing good. My advice is to listen to your doctor and your body and follow the rules. And be patient with the process. :thumbup:

It might depend on your doctor. I get my first fill this Thursday. I was told that for the first year, I need to come in at least once a month to have my restriction checked but if after one week after a fill I feel that I have no restriction or too much I can call and get another adjustment--I don't have to wait until the following month.

I had my first fill and was good for the 1st few days. Now I'm hungry again and can eat whatever I want. My doctor has me go in every 4-6 weeks. Would be nice if I could go in more often though.

      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!
