First Fill 7/14 - but need a new scale?



Recommended Posts

Hey!

I received my first fill yesterday - it went well - regretfully I needed to do under flouroscopy because my port appears to be slightly tilted. But it was no problem other than the additional cost :tongue_smilie:! My doctor performed the fill without numbing the area - it was a quick poke and I didn't feel anything. (I would suggest skipping the Lidocaine and just going for it!)

Quick question for the community - does anyone have a suggestion for a scale? My scale seems to change weights as I am standing on it - 3 to 5 pounds!

Thanks!

Christina

I purchased my scale (digital and it talks!) from livingXL.com - it is the website associated with Casual Male XL - but they have great stuff for larger human beings. The scales were reasonable and there were several to choose from. Good luck! Music Mom

I got a great and very accurate scale at Walmart made by Weight Watchers. I love it! It was affordable and when I go into a doctors office with the real scale mine is always in line with what the the doctor's scale says.

Thank you both Music Mom & Fort Bend Band! I will check them both out and see which works best for me! I definitely need an accurate scale - mine is about 4 to 5 pounds lighter than the doctors!

Thanks again!:thumbup:

      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!
