1st fill after 5/28/08 surgery



Recommended Posts

:confused:I just had my first fill. I had 2ccs placed during surgery. I now have 4ccs. I am able to eat normally just hours after the fill. I have a 10cc AP (Advanced Platform) band. Being able to eat normally after a fill should not be normal, right?

Question, why did you wait so long for a fill?

But yes, I was able to eat normally after a fill up until my 5th one. I didn't have restriction until then. My doc had me wait 24hrs before eating solid food tho after a fill.

I also ate normally after my first two fills...I had my 3rd fill a week ago today and am feeling a little restriction but I think I will need a fourth and possibly 5th fill before I am fully adjusted...It is normal, I have talked to many other patients in my doctor's office and they all have had the same experiences. I was afraid the surgery was not working too but I can surely feel I am getting close to where I should be. Best of luck to you!

      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'. ???

      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!
