Hello! I was also banded on 4/18/12 and have lost 38lbs , (congrats cbarreto on your 52lb loss). My scars are still noticeable but I think it’s partly because I just have that type of skin, the 4 smaller ones are less noticeable just dark in color and of course the port incision is longer. I go for my 3rd fill next week, so super excited to maybe hit the "green zone"

latisadawn-- how much weight loss for you? How are your scars doing? Have you hit the green zone?

I was banded 4/26 and everything is going good for me. I am down 45 lbs!!! My scars have healed nicely I have had 5 fills and I'm now at 5.5 cc in my 10cc band and I'm haveing a hard time deciding if it's the green zone or maybe a little tight I can't eat more than a quarter of a cup of food and things that were ok before I got my last fill I can't get down now. I go back to doc on the 31st so I will find out then.

      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!
