It feels so good. This surgery has changed my life. Weather it be the lap band itself or the fact that I decided to change my life and actually am doing it. For the first time in a long time, probably since 6th grade which was like 17 years ago, I feel good about myself. My depression which I have had since about then is gone. I am going to the gym and doing kickboxing and actually enjoying it. Even though I feel my weightloss is a little slow, my body is changing and I feel good. I have to say I was so miserable before surgery I thought about ending things a few times a month, but since surgery I have not had one negative thought. Sorry for my sob story, but I felt I needed to share. Everyone keep up the great work!

Wow! I see that you got your band like only four days before me and your amount of lbs. lost is twice as much as mine. What are some of your secrets?

Congratulations! It is exciting to fit into smaller sizes. I bought a small sized sweater and some size 6 jeans at a yard sale the other day, so I have something to push for, for next Winter. I'm in size 12-16 jeans now. I can still wear at least one of my size 16's.

SO AWESOME!!!! Congrats!!!!! Feels so GREAT to get into smaller clothes.

Yesterday I tried on a shirt getting ready for work and realized it was WAY too big for me. I haven't worn it in awhile...thinking it was going to be too small!! Thank God I had some XL tops already that I keep from a few years ago. I'm starting to build a pile of clothes in the spare bedroom to pack up for the Good Will. laugh.gif I'll need to go shopping soon. biggrin.gif

      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!
