Hi Gabita. Try not to let the numbers on the scale get to you, I don't think they gown down fast enough for any of us! You did say you "feel smaller" and, to me, that is far more important than any scale reading.

Keep up the good work, it is so worth it!

@@gabita I was having .5-.7 lbs loss everyday which was awesome to see but for 2 days it has gone the other way! I was down 5.5 from surgery then yesterday up a little and today up a little. I even did yard work one day and went to the gym (walked slow in treadmill) yesterday but it went up. This is the wake up call I knew was coming....this isn't a magic trick. It will be a long road of eating right and exercise, utilizing our new tool.

I started off with a little fill, she starts you at 2 cc in the OR. I do feel full after 4 oz of food. I'm only on liquids though so it only last about 3 hours.

Hang in there!! This will get better and your numbers will drop. For now Celebrate the non scale victories....I had a coupon for Kohls so I got a shirt a size smaller then usual....when I got home it fit!!! That's better then a number on a scale!

Greetings,

I went in on May 27 for my first fill. I lost 9 pounds in the past month and I'm doing ok with satiety after eating my meals. Also, I felt a tad uncomfortable eating white meat chicken a week previous to the appt. Based on all of this, the nurse who does fills at my surgeon's office recommended, and I agreed, that we would hold off on doing a fill. I'll go back in another month and we will see where we are at that time.

So far, so good. :)

      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.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
