You should be aware that by including those individuals that have not been banded, the numbers become less meaningfull.

I am aware that the auto-percentages the poll calculates is not the percentage of removed bands vs banded. However, since the poll shows the actual numbers of each option, including the non-banded people in the poll doesn't negatively affect the results of the poll at all. It's a simple math equation using only the number of unbanded people divided by the number of banded people.

This way everyone gets to participate, and I still get the information I'm looking for, and we get a vague idea of total ACTIVE members. A very vague idea, since not everyone will be moved to vote. Then again, if someone just can't be moved to vote, perhaps they're not really that "active" on this site.

As of this post, there are 149 people voted as banded, and 7 people voted as unbanded. This gives us a percentage of 4.7 percent unbanded.

The real problem is that I didn't differentiate between WHY people were unbanded, so I'm not getting the erosion percentage, which is kind of what I was looking for. But this will do for now.

Glitter, you did right. I'm looking for responses to banded, was banded but had it removed, and not yet/never been banded.

I wish I had broken the band removed category up into subcategories, but that can always be another post... :rolleyes:

I attended the seminar in November, met with the therapist today, and need to get referral letter from my Dr. I don't have a date scheduled to be banded, and have not been approved yet. But I'm feeling very positive and believe I'll be banded by February.

      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!
