Hey guys and gals I am pretty new to this forum thiugh I've had a membership probably for many years i havent been around. A little about me I am 30 years old and have been trying to have the lapband for about the past 10 years but for many different reasons things didnt work out till now. My highest weight was 385 on April 15th 2011 im currently sitting at 366 I just finished my 6 month supervised diet and nutrition and psyche eval and we have submitted to insurance. I am super excited that it seems to be my time to finally get this done. I have a lot of support from my family and actually my twin sister has already gotten her approval to have the band done as well so we will be going through this togehter. I hope and pray for a quick approval to this so I can go ahead and get the ball rolling even more.

      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!
