No fills yet :(



Recommended Posts

I am 87 days since surgery and my dr has yet to do a fill. They finally have one scheduled for the 23rd of April. That is 101 days after surgery. I have been very dissappointed, I thought he would have done a fill by now. I have been struggling for weeks. They only do them under X-ray and he is booked solid for weeks.

I may look into changing Dr's since it's hard to get in. The last couple of visit's I've begged for a fill and he wouldn't do it until 90 days after surgery. This is the first dr, I've heard that waited so long to do a fill.

I've heard a couple of people who said they went for their first fill but because they were losing faster than 2 pounds a week, their first fill was postponed. But 90 days? That's a new one on me.

I'm already having to drive 1 1/2 hours to the dr. We are suppose to be getting one locally that will start soon. I'll probably change after he gets his practice established.

My dr now says he will not fill anyone before 90 days. I did not know this before surgery, or I would have looked for a different dr.

      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!
