Just wanted to share this .

I finally get my first FILL February 9th, whoop whoop.

Super excited .

Is there anything I should expect ?

I was told only takes about 10mins total, under Xray. During a berium swallow. At the hospital. (my doctor does every thing by the books).

Doctor said liquids only for the rest of the day, then soft foods for two days , then back to solids.

Anything else I should know?

Don't eat before you go for a fill. Sometimes they forget to tell you that.

Every doctor is different so you should really ask him. My doctor doesn't do fill under x-ray unless there's a reason and says go ahead and eat before because you aren't going to be eating after. His rule is liquids for the rest of the day and then back to normal tomorrow.

      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!
