Recommended Posts

I just scheduled my lap band surgery for December 12th. Figured I would come and introduce myself to the forum!

I am Andrew Smith from Hillsdale, Michigan. I am a graduate of Western Michigan University with a BS in Geography. I am currently married to my wonderful wife, Laura, who has also had lap band done!

Hey! I just found all of these replies in my email! I have been so busy with work and home life I forgot about this website!

I am currently 345 lbs. I started at 450 and it has almost been a year. I'm able to stand on my feet more. I now have a job working with at-risk children where I am on my feet all day and very physical. This would have never been remotely possible at the weight of 450 lbs. My knees would collapse on me!

Thank you all for your encouragement!

      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'. ???

      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!
