no difference



Recommended Posts

Hi,

Had my first fill on Thursday. I thought, OK, now things are going to start moving along. Nope, no difference.

The doc said "see ya in a month." As soon as the office is open I am calling in to try to get back in. How soon will they do another fill? Will Thursdays fill magically "kick in" or do I need another one.

I know it is a marathon, not a sprint, but I just want to get off the starting line.

SAD.

I had my first fill this past Tuesday...(I was given 1 cc in a 10 cc band.) My doc said to come back in 6 weeks for another fill. I did feel some restriction for the first day or so. I am going to ride it out for another week or so to see what happens with my restriction before I call the doctor's office to get in sooner than 6 weeks. Good luck to you.

I am told to wait a week to reschedule because many people do have a delayed reaction to their fills.

I completely understand what you are going through. I feel like a failure. I haven't lost any weight since my surgery July 14th. I CAN'T WAIT to get this party started and start losing.

My first fill was 4 cc's.....felt nothing at all. My 2nd fill was last Wednesday and I got another 3 cc's. And I only feel a little restriction.

Good luck & remember you are not alone. Please keep us updated how you are doing.

Jane

      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!
