Less restriction after 2nd fill then the 1st fill



Recommended Posts

Has anyone felt less restriction after their 2nd fill then they did after the 1st one? I actually feel like they took out some of the fill... My first one was 4 cc and then just last week I got 2 more cc's. This is really frustrating... I was so excited to get my 2nd fill thinking it was going to really make a difference and then nothing...

When you went in for your fill, did they first remove all of the previous fill? It is important that they do that in order to make sure you do not have a leak.

Also, bands are fickle creatures. I would get a fill, and sometimes it would take up to two weeks before I would notice the difference. Many others have said they experienced the same thing.

It seems that as soon as you go off the liquids after a fill for three days and go back to food...the weight you lost while on liquids just comes back on... It's very frustrating. :biggrin:

I don't know if they removed the first fill... I can tell you when I got my first one, Water girggled at lot...it was tight but it felt great again... this fill, I drank Water and nothing, i was even able to take large sips and by the time I got back to work I was able to down a bottle of water in no time, just like before the band.

Now you have me wondering if there is a leak... I will call the Dr. and see what they say.

Thanks

      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!
