WOW all of you all are babies! LOL I am 45 and was banded 5 days ago. at 5ft 8 and 320 lbs I know I am gonna have sagging. I am just hoping for sagging I can deal with! After 4 kids the last being a set of twins I already have a saggy belly. I am hoping to escape surgery as I have a multitude of medication allergies and the very thought of going under the knife again scares the tar outta me! I am praying with exercise and good undergarments I can just deal with the rest my days of ever wishing to wear daisy dukes or a bikini have long since flown. I was looking for some tips and some hope that that might work for me. never heard of body brushing but I will give just about anything non-invasive a try! I shared a room when I was banded with a wonderful woman who had lost 120 lbs and was in for a Tummy Tuck. She told me if she had known what it would put her through she would have lived with the rashes and powders! Scares me even more! :(

Wondering how your weight loss is coming along and the sagging skin. I posted in 2011 about mine and well I'm no longer pregnant and had my first of many surgeries I start with my tummy.

      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.

      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!
