fills not working yet...next week is third



Recommended Posts

It took me 6 fills and a total of 10.4cc in my 14cc band to feel restriction, so hang in there :rolleyes2:

Hello, I was banded on 2/13/2009, my first fill was on 3/13/2009...and I can not feel a difference! This is my first time seeing this web site but it makes me feel a little better to know that others are having the same issue. I have a 14cc band, and currently have 6cc in my band. I have ONLY lost 13 lbs in 2 months. :rolleyes2:

I'm in the same boat, but now it is hard for me to get a fill. My doc had to do mine at the hospital under fluoro (at a charge of $450, which now the hospital is trying to charge me $1000 for!). I had no more restriction from it and am now eating more because I'm depressed about the band not working! Also worried that my fill in his office next week won't work because he said that my port is tilted and moves when he tries to inject the saline. Urrggh! Just frustrated!

I was wondering! Now I dont feel so bad... Jan 09 band and only 15 lbs gone. 2nd fill 2 weeks ago and nothing yet. I feel little if no restriction. I dont crush pills or worry about any foods in particular. I was beginning to wonder if the thing came undone or what!

      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!
