Hi Everyone....sorry i have been missing, i have been going through some things personally :( anyway, i just had my 1st adjustment ....it was a little strange, i layed in the chair and the doctor felt around for my port...he found it and told me to get in a sit up position, stuck the needle in and pulled the plunger out and then injected 1/2 of the Fluid and asked me to take a drink of Water and count how many seconds it took to drain, he then put in a little more saline and then pulled it out...Doctor then made me drink 3 large slips of water to make sure nothing got stuck & i feel so dang full...i feel like i have eaten an entire thanks giving dinner!!!!! I am so excited because i have only maintained my 22 pound weight loss the last 2 weeks, i was worried that i wouldnt be successful w/ the band but i agree w/ others that have said after the adjustment its a whole nother ball game!! LOVE IT!

I cant find the thread on the post op side. Im not very good at this..lol ! It's 12 days post-op and the bubble in my chest is finally gone and I think my swelling is gone bacause my protien drinks, cream Soups and Jello arent keeping me full and my stomach is actually growling. Havent weighed myself either in a couple of days but everyone at school said they can see it in my face and thigh area( I have to wear scrubs every day). So thats a plus : )

Im right there with you! I did good on the liquid diet and now that I introduced mushy foods, I gained 3lbs! And the last 4 days I have been to the gym.... I dont get it either! I hope this starts coming off soon!

I was banded on march 15, 2011 and has gained a lb back, i am very confused right now, scared and not knowing what to expect. I do what they tell me, i even called dietician for more advice. now i am going back to preop diet again to get some more off quickly. the solid thing is not working for me right now. i havent received my first fill yet and im already up a lb. did i mention i have been excercising like crazy, someone please help me to understand, what is going on. I am devestated

      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!
