ok my 1st fill i was filled to 4.2 (10cc band) and i lost 13.5 lbs...ok 2nd fill to 5.2 and OMG i've gained 7 almost 8 lbs...WHAT HAPPENED, that fill was 3 weeks ago, (i go for fill number 3 thursday) i was fine, i wasn't feeling hungry, i could go from 6 am to 9 pm and never eat, ( i did eat!) but i never felt hungry, i had lost about 7 1/2 pounds, and now i've gained that back, so now i weigh more than i did then when i went for the fill!!!

i'm so embarrassed, like i don't wanna go for my fill, its so frustrating, i mean i know where i messed up i guess...i was going to the gym 5-6 days a week, and i cut down to 3-4, and now this past week i've been REALLY hungry, i mean i try will power like i had done with past diets, but its crazy i'm really hungry...

i'm trying to talk to myself...like its not going to get any better with out a fill, so i have to go, but dang! i'm so upset!!!

anyone else going thru this? need some words of encouragement, cause all i wanna do is sit here and eat! and THAT is NOT the way to handle this

Hi,

Don't worry about your weigh in. It's a good thing you are going for another fill, sounds like you need one. They can check to see if your band lost any Fluid. This happened to me once. 3cc leaked out probably while getting the a fill. I gained 7 pounds that month and had no restriction. It's never happened since. Good luck with your next fill.

I have a 10 cc band. Had a tiny bit of restriction after my 2nd fill but not much. My 3rd fill put me at 6 cc & gave me good restriction. That was 6 weeks ago & I still have good restriction. I've lost 10 pounds in that 6 weeks but I haven't lost anything in the last couple. I think the reason is that I haven't been able to walk lately & I was walking every morning. I don't have enough daylight to walk before I have to be at work. Your 3rd fill should help a lot.

      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!
