don't ask me, haven't lost much at all...banded on 12/16 and i'm getting really discouraged....2nd fill on the 15th and hoping for some restriction.

I was banded on 1/16 as well and lost 9#'s the first week and nothing the 2nd week ... I am hoping to see something by then end of my 3rd week.

Dont be discouraged early bandsters, you know until you reach the green zone it is gonna be slow and sometimes not happening at all. We will get there!!

I was banded on 10/21/11, and I have lost almost 45 lbs. My Dr. didnt require a preop diet so all the weight loss was after the surgery. In the first month, I had my biggest weight loss with 20lbs. I lost 12lbs the second month, and have been steadily losing about 2 lbs per week the third month into the 4th month. My weight loss has definitely slowed down now since having my first fill in January, and I am going back for the second fill next week.

I think you can expect to see more weight loss during the liquid phase, since your stomach is healing and you arent putting much into it. Most people say their weight loss tapers as they begin to incorporate solids. It all varies. Congrats on the surgery and best of luck!!

      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!
