The 1st fill...



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill today and man did I get beat up. I have a giant bruise right over my port. He poked and felt and had a hard time finding the port. But, after the 3rd poke of the needle, he finally got it. :cursing:That really hurt.

So, now I'm on liquids, again :), for 2 days. By friday I move on to real food.:) I just hope now I can make it to friday. I am so f-ing hungry, I don't know what to do.

The good news is I am down 22lbs. And wearing very baggie clothes. I can't believe it. I haven't put that much effort into exercising this last month so everything could heal. But, now I have the green light to take some classes at the gym. I have never been sooooo excited to exercise.

I feel like this was the best decision I have ever made for myself. There were a couple of days right after surgey that I questioned what I had done to myself. But, I am starting to feel like this is finally going to work for me and I am excited to see the results.

Good job on the great weight loss! I can't wait to feel the way you do. I am excited, but am still having the thoughts of "what did I do". I have to say if anyone ever says to me I took the easy way out I will slap em! Keep up the good work. Tamara

OH tamihott I am so with you. You have to work just as hard as anyone else with the weight loss. It just gives us a feeling of full for me for the first time in my life. I've never felt that sensation before. It's a wonderful thing.

I'm down 16 pounds since my surgery, and no fill until 10/29.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
