Hi there KNall

My name is Bonnie and I was banded 3/25/11. I live at Power Road and Queen Creek and would love to chat and be able to encourage each other.

The band was the best thing I ever did. Although my weight lose is slow, 41 lbs so far, I am half way to my goal! You are going to do GREAT and please feel free to keep in touch!

Bonnie

Thanks Bonnie. I'm getting nervous and the more I'm reading the more nervous i'm getting. Like i've read about people losing too fast and having extra skin or people losing slowly which would be discouraging to me. I've also heard of people "eating through the band". Maybe i should stop reading! Thanks so much for replying. We definitely can support each other.

Not to worry at all. All of those things can be true but everyone is different.

I myself have not made good food choices at times which has contributed to me losing slower than some. I'm going back in for another filll next Monday to just start my losing again.

Please keep me posted on your surgery. You will do great!!!!!

My email is bcampbell29@cox.net.

Talk to you soon. :D

      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!
