GREG~~~ You live in Anniston?? Have we met? I live in Jacksonville..... hmmmm where do you work???

My name is Kanina Im 28years old...

I was banded Jan 2008 by Dr. Black.

I have lost 110lbs however last summer I had to have my band unfilled and had my gallbladder taken out...d/t reflux BUT i still have reflux so my band can only be minimally filled :-( But I am happy to say I am back on my way and within the last month I have lost 15lbs of what I gained over the summer!

AND I agree it is way too quiet on these boards we need to keep posting and keep supporting!!!!!

My goal is a size 9/10 like I was in highschool and IM ALMOST There.

I plan to have brachioplasty this year or next and after I have kids I will do a total mommy makeover with Tummy Tuck, thigh lift, and boob job!!!

Kanning don't know if you remember me but we have chatted on here a long time ago...Do you still get to see Jason?

Talking about a tummy tuck and boob lift , my wife will probabbly have those done in April. Don't know the dr's name but his clinic is on Ft. McClellan. I think she get them both done for $7200.

By the way if you get the time...the Zumba class up at the Fitness Center will get the pounds off.....They work you hard.

      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!
