I had my first Fill



Recommended Posts

I couldn't feel a thing...except a little pressure...My Dr gave me a little shot to numb the area, he gave it to me next to my main incision site, which was nice because I haven't regained feeling there, and then he took a larger needle to put the Fluid in... it felt a little odd when the needle went in the port... but it did not hurt. I was so worried about this, and it was a breeze! Now I just hope I feel more restriction. I was beginning to eat myself out of house and home! In fact I gained 4lbs from my last Dr visit (I went off liquids right after that appt). I'll find out today if this fill is helping... I brought a lean quizine for lunch... I have my next appt in 6wk, but if I don't feel anything I may call and see if they can get me in earlier.

Aileena, our bands have the same birthday. I am waiting for a fill until July 19 and am also ready to eat house/home. But I'm am nervous about working in Liberia next month and told me dr I didn't want a fill.

How much fill did he put in? Let me know how it goes.

For now, I am going to try and avoid gaining anything back. Congratulations on getting your fill.....enjoy and think thin...

My ex husband is from Liberia...Be careful! They are truely smooth talkers... and most of them like round women ;) I'm saying be careful because mine divorced me 2mths after he got his greencard.

My Dr didn't tell me how much but I heard him tell the nurse in was 1.5.

      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!
