There is a lot of reading to be done here. I have been trying to keep up with a lot of threads and find that I must just pick and choose the ones that catch my attention that day! Lots of information to try to absorb.

Just got back from having my 3rd fill. Last week the fill was too tight and the surgeon had to take some out. Of course, I then didn't have enough restriction! So this morning he added another cc and I am now up to 4. I feel restriction with this fill and if it really bothers me, I am to go back to the Dr. and have him take some out. I hope I don't have to do that as I am anxious to find that sweet spot soon!

You have lost a good amount of weight so far. Do you want the band because, like me and others, you can lose the weight but then you gain it ( & possibly more) back again?

Wishing you all the best.

      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!
