2nd fill average



Recommended Posts

Hi all

I had my second fill today. I had 4ml on the day or surgery, 2.5 ml on the 19/1 and 1.5 ml today. That's a total of 8ml. Does that seem to be an average for people or does that seem to be quite tight?

I know that evryone is different but just an average would be nice :rose:

Hey Emmsie,

I had 2ml on day of surgery and another 2ml at my first fill - making a total of 4ml. My surgeon says most people sit around 6ml and he doesnt have anyone with more than 7.5ml. Having said that, everyone is different.

I hope they put at least 3ml in when I go next week.

emmsie,

do you have an 10cc band? It's taken me 5 fills to get to 6.75cc and I'm pretty well restricted now. How are you going though? Are you able to drink liquids without difficulty? If so, you're probably fine.

Wow, I got no fill on surgery day. I don't get any till the 19th of March, and my restriction is wearing off... I apparently have the smallest band there is though. Dunno if that makes a difference.

I seem to be coping ok. I managed to eat a sausage sanwich for lunch with fresh white bread and didnt have any issues except for the fact that the sausage was cold by the time I finished :)

Feeling very PMS - even feel like some chocolate which is a sure sign

      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!
