Filled 2 weeks ago!



Recommended Posts

Hi all

I had a fill 2 weeks ago & finally got proper restriction - it was brilliant but the last 2 days I have been really really tight.. I can drink Water but struggle with thick Soup let alone any solid food.

Is this normal for it to get really tight after 2 weeks of being ok? Do you think it will return to how it was before?

I am not upset, stressed or hormonal as far as i am aware! I am gutted that its got tight when it seemed to be perfect!

I have a 10cc band and I had 0.75mils put in to take me up to 8.75cc. At 7cc I had hardly any restriction.

Please help - I really dont want to pay again for another bit to be removed if it will improve.

I've had my band just over a year now and not been very sucessful with the weight loss - only lost 1.5 stone... finally I am in the right frame of mind & seeing weight come off when this happens to ruin it! arrghhhh...

thanks

Sally

well i'm gutted that no-one offered me support or advice even though 52 people read this message.

In case anyone is interested my tightness lasted for 5 days & is now back to a good restriction but where i can eat and drink small portions.

I guess it must have been hormonal or something.... but all i can say is if you get this happen it might be worth sitting it out for a few days before having Fluid removed then regretting it!

I'm glad the situation resolved itself - I was one of those that read your post, but I honestly didn't have any advice to offer. My doc told me that it can take up to 2 weeks to feel the restriction, but I haven't experienced it for myself yet. It sounds like you may actually be at your sweet spot for now. Cross your fingers and hope this is your magic fill spot!

      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!
