I had my second fill during TOM and I had absolutely no problem.

I can't eat hardly anything before and during my cycle. I have learned the hard way. So I have made a personal decision NOT to have my fills during this time. I have some friends on another thread who also have trouble eating during "TOM". Do you have trouble while TOM is visiting? If you do, don't get your fill at that time.

I haven't had my TOM since banding. I am due next week, just like you. I am also due for my fill next week, just like you. I can only hope that neither of us have trouble! I guess we both had better take it slow to avoid sliming or PBing.

I really don't think it will matter much with the first fill. They put very little in the first time. After that, it might be a problem.

slim, you won't notice much of a difference with the first fill. (I know because we have the same doctor and he doesn't put much in the first time). I have had 3 fills and they have all been around my TOM and I have had no problems. I guess it is different for everyone.

I do not think it matters , I had my fill this Sunday and it was that TOM , but the good news is that since i was banded a month ago I had two cycles ... which I never had before before starting to lose weight which shows that my body is starting to get normalized .... :-) :laugh:

      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.

        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!
