I was banded April 2009...14 months later i hit my goal as of yesterday! Slow going but pretty happy.

Havent had a fill since before Christmas. Finally figured out what i can and cant eat and how much. I mess up and PB from time to time but not much.

The down side to slow weight loss is instead of going from huge clothes to small clothes I had to buy different sizes every few months! still worth it.

Went from tight fitting "loosefit" size 40 jeans to size 34 "regular fit".

My blood pressure is good too and my energy level and even though it gets hot where I live im not nearly as miserable as I used to be.

:)

Congratulations, that’s awesome in only fourteen months. If I remember right, I came across a couple of your posts when I was researching Dr. John Coon. He is putting my band in on Tuesday and so far I am really happy I chose to go with him. I have to travel from La Quinta but I think I made the right choice and clearly you did too. Congratulations on hitting your goal!

Congratulations! I was banded in April 2009 also and have just about 5 lbs to go. Can't remember the last time I felt this good!

I'm happy for you that you met your goal. It's quite an accomplishment. Enjoy it!

      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!
