Band Buddy:)



Recommended Posts

Let me start off by saying I do not have the best support system at all. I had some complications with eating from my band and felt like I was having a heart attack each time I swallowed any food. I went through that for about 6 months all the while I kept getting readjusted. My family could be so much more supportive if they weren't so busy talking crap and putting me down every chance they get. So, anyone who's willing to help me go along and start from the basics again to get to where I need to be, will be gladly appreciated. :) I've had my band for about a year now and have lost about 50 pounds, but I still have quite a few more pounds to go to reach my goal weight. Looking forward to hearing from anyone! :)

Sorry to hear that. I really believe that my support friends have helped me keep on track. I attend atleast 2 of the 4 weekly Monday night meetings and also meet with my emotional eating group once a month even though our 6 week course ended last April. Support is huge, I am here for you. Message me anytime!

PS.....let's see them try and lose 10 pounds let alone 50!

      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!
