amount of fill to keep weight maintained



Recommended Posts

I put on over a stone after maintaining for over 2 years, went and got a fill, Doctor said I had .7 and now he has put .8 intotal. Forgot to ask if fills evaporate. For long time banisters do you get re toped up yearly or when?

when I feel I need to - havent had any in about 9 months, still feel pretty snug - in fact I have been thinking about getting a little out becuase whilst I maintain effortlessly, with all the exercise I do, I tend to eat junk to get the calories in - I cannot eat quite enough healthy food but need the energy from a bit of this or that that is easy to eat. I should be eating a couple of pieces of fruit instead, but I just cant cope with too much of it.

I'd probably plan on a once a year visit, that's what my doc advises.

Well this time will ensure make a yearly visit even if fill not needed just to make certain band ok, but you are a few years out and doing great,so you are a great example. For some reason all my friends who have had it done had their band slip, so had this initial terror of not wanting to get refill after initially hitting sweat spot, even though had stacked on weight as was terrified would end up too tight and then have band slip,or band cut into my stomache.

      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!
