ONEderland!!!!



Recommended Posts

I just weighed at am in ONEderland for the first time in about 20 yrs!! I have always been very overweight. I wore a size 24/26 from Lane Bryant in 5th grade. I have never known what it is like to be a normal weight or wear clothes that were age appropriate for me. Before my PreOp diet I was 326lbs. The day of surgery I was 300lbs. I am now at 199lbs! I would still like to lose another 50lbs but dont know if that is out of reach. I have a fair amount of excess skin and dont have the finances to have cosmetic surgery. I am so thrilled to be out of the 200's! This was a milestone in my life that I never thought I would see. I am 29 yrs old, I wasted my teens and twenties being super obese. My 30's and on will be at a healthy weight. LapBand has saved my life! I feel like I could jump high enough to reach the clouds today!!

This is ONEderful!

I'm so happy to see younger people having this surgery. I gained my weight with my kids and have been huge for 25 years. You've done the right thing taking care of the problem while you are still young. I've sat on the sidelines the whole time my kids were growing up and they only know me as fat.:huh:

Congratulations on taking control! Now you can really LIVE!

      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!
