Here is my situation, I got my band 6 months ago, and I have been able to loose 44 pounds since then, but it has been so hard for me to loose weight, I think my body has a set weight that it's fighting me to keep, the main reason that I got this surgery is because I want to be healthy and be able to have another baby, talking to my ob/gyn told me that the only way I was going to be able to ovulate normally is by loosing weight, again my progress has been slow and I just don't know what ales to do, I follow all the instructions from my doctors, any suggestions or anyone going through the same situation as me, please advise...

44 pounds is quite an accomplishment and in 6 months. I think that's about average. You've lost an average of 1.8lbs per week. That's not bad. Just make good food choices and exercise more and it'll speed up. You've done great I think. Be patient with yourself. 2lbs per week is what I hear is about average wt. loss with the band Keep it up!!! You're doing awesome!.

      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!
