filled at last!



Recommended Posts

FINALLY! after 4 months of being empty, i have a fill! i am so happy. and boy am i being reschooled! lol, it sucks, but i love it too. chew chew chew, slow slow slow. how easily i got out of those habits.

my refill story wasnt pleasant to begin with. i went in last wed and got a 2.2 fill. i felt fine, the barium went thru under fluoro no problemo. then comes the next morning. made myself a cup of tea, took a sip. a SIP, especially since it was hot...no good. didnt pass. pb'ed the tea. and my spit. and my spit. and ANY liquid i tried drinking the entire day. i am not kidding when i tell you i was in the bathroom every 15 minutes or so just to pb my spit. it was horrible. so i got another appt w/ the fill doc, went back the next afternoon and had 1.0 taken out. i now sit at 1.2 and feel great. and you know what? i have great restriction! i already feel better then i have in weeks/months. i know some of that is in my head, but even so, at least i feel better. lol. i about died when i got on the scale at the doctor's and it read that i had lost 12 pounds in the 2 days! yes, 12 lbs. but it was not good to do it that way. i know it was because i had gotten dehydrated.

so now i am drinking my fluids and eating mushies and feeling fine! back on the wagon am i.

Yeah for you! That sounds like an awful experience! I can't imagine PB'ing just with your own spit - yuk~

      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!
