I can relate to what your feeling, on my first fill my Docter put in 2 cc's, I felt nothing and did'nt lose a pound. On my second fill he put in 2 more cc's and I lost 12 lbs in 6 weeks, went back to him for my appointment and he did'nt put anything in. 6 weeks later I went back to him and only lost 1 lb. He put in 2 more cc's, and now I feel the difference!

Be patient, it may take a few fills before you really start losing. The only thing I should have done is gone back earlier when I was'nt losing so give your Docter a call in a couple of weeks and ask him/her for a fill.

Good luck and hang in there, it will happen.

Just hang in there, everyone is different with there fills It may take just one fill or it may take several to get that right tightness, it will come just be very patient. I have had only two fills 1.4 CC total, and I am losing about two LBS. a week that's all they really want you to lose anyway. It will be worth the wait, I feel so much better, I wish you success, and never give up........... It's going to be a life change.

      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.

        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!
