1 Year Anniversary 10-19-12



Recommended Posts

Hi all! My one year band anniversary was yesterday and I am very close to being 100 pounds down! I still wanna lose another 20 or so but I thought I would share my photo from yesterday with all of you! I am very happy with the results of the band and I have no regrets what so ever! My before pic is my profile pic.

Oh my goodness yes! I used to wake up in sooo much pain everyday...I had to take two ibproufain (sp)? In the morning. I no longer need them. Now when I wake up I get up and have energy...no pain! I am a much happier person and have so much more confidence! Thank you for your kind words!

Wow you look great! You look so much younger. I think the weight off really does take age off. I wish could blow up profile pics as so tiny on my feeble eyes:) but I still can tell amazing difference. I am at my 6 month mark today and its been slow at close to 30lb. Just starting to maybe get some restriction but would be thrilled to get 40 off and be 10-20 from goal at one year mark. Congrats again.. Love the new you!!

      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!
