I know how self-congratulating posts can be a bit much but I want to share that I love my lapband because I just weighed myself and the scale said 149.8. I promised myself that I would be 149.9 or lower by April 14, my birthday. This weight is significant to me because it is the lowest weight I've had in over 10 years!

I hope that this will give someone else who is struggling hope that their day will come too and it will be sweet because of the hard work it took to get there. My journey isn't over because now I have 19.8 pounds left to help me become a healthier me. Your success stories have inspired me during dark and weak moments. Thank you everyone for being here on this site!

Thanks everyone. It has been a tough year for me. I kind of feel like this is the start of a new chapter. There is still more to do but I have hope.

On a funny note: the other day I started walking up the stairs to my front door and forgot that I've lost so much weight. I braced for the fatigue I used to feel whenever I climbed those stairs. I didn't feel the fatigue and bounded up the stairs. What a moment. Has anyone else had a moment like that?

      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!
