Well, I got my first fill a week a a half ago and I have no restriction. I didn't really expect to, but it started out pretty good right after the fill. I can definitely eat more than my half a cup. I am going back in this coming Thursday, per doctor for another fill. I am still losing, but it has slowed way down. 3 pounds in about a week and a couple days. Has anyone else had to go back in this quick?

You are fortunate that your doc will do fills this soon. My practice made me wait 7 weeks post op then 6-7 weeks between fills. Long drawn out road to restriction.

You are losing well, congratulations.

I had my first fill the day before Thanksgiving and I feel no restriction. Unfortunately, I am not scheduled for my next fill until March. Does that seem really far off to anyone else? I was thinking about calling my doctor and seeing if i could get one sooner, but I don't know. maybe there is a reason for this very long interval between fills? It is frustrating though. I got this surgery as a tool to lose weight. So far, it isn't helping me much...

My Dr uses small fills but recommends coming in every 3 - 4 weeks - if you can actually get an appointment that is! Yes March sounds way too far off - I would try and get in again sooner, otherwise it will take you forever to get decent restriction.

      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!
