lost 130 and am down 9 pants sizes! I love my band but will always struggle to eat right. By that I mean stay away from the sweets. I know what is good for me and what makes me feel best, but it can be tempting. I go to the gym 4 times a week now that I have hit goal and will continue to stay active. Clothes shopping is getting a little easier, it can be hard when you were obese for years and do not know where to shop or what to buy. But I have gotten to know my knew body and it is getting better. I had double hernia surgery in November and spent 5 days in the hospital, my recovery was pretty fast and I did not gain any weight during my down time! I get stuck on occasion and is it usually caused by not chewing enough and is purely my fault. My band does tighten up right before my tom but that's ok, it is just reminding me it is still there. I hope everyone else is doing well and had great weight loss and ncv with their bands.

I'm doing good..I think..have just settled in to knowing my band. Down almost 70lbs and that is after a restart from my ob cutting my tubing during my hysterectomy.just now feeling like I know my band and can go forward from here.I have 50 more pounds that I want to loose, but I will be happy with 40, that will put me at 186.

I have found that many people are asking me now when will I stop that I'm getting too skinny :-D..i am far from skinny!

I do need to do more exercise and use the various apps that I have downloaded to my phone and do things on the run..

      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!
