Can anyone tell me how Dr Urbandts fills are done?

He told me all fills are done under floro, Which I think is the best way to get them. Less worry about being too tight and poking the tubing.

Fills are done on Mondays by appointment. This is what I have been told. So, if at your appt. he thinks you need a fill, one will be scheduled. It won't be done that day.

It goes on how the Fluid is going through your pouch. When i took my first sip it went right threw so he added 2 then i sipped again and it still went threw pretty fast so he add another cc and that put me to 3cc

I feel great.. even Water is sitting in the pouch a little.. I feel full again and it feels great!

I thought he said liquids, i didnt hear clear hehe.. So i had Tomato Soup at 4pm and that was my first meal today.. I am not hungry but i have a massive headache like i havent ate all day... I plan on having a Protein shake for dinnner and one for Breakfast.. I cant wait to eat really food again!!!!!!!!

Just a heads up to all Dr. Urbandt's patients: The ER at West Penn Hospital is going to close in January 2011. Bariatric program will still be at West Penn but I don't know where ER patients will go.

There's no way I am going to AGH. I live in Westmoreland County. I will go to Forbes in Monroeville if need be. Forbes is part of the Alle-West Hospital system. If I can't go there then I will try to switch doctors to someone at Magee.

      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!
