January 2013 Bandsters Unite



Recommended Posts

Thanks so much for the encouragement. Feels good to hear from another believer concerning this. Hasn't been an easy decision to make.

When I went to surgery all my mom could say was " Lord you know what your daughter is getting into" this decision was one of the hardest I had to make. I'm down 20 pounds n feels good.

Yes ma'am there are! I know that there are some threads on here specific to faith, but I've met several others who are walking by faith in their band-life. God ordering my steps has been the only way I've made it this far on my journey. And Him keeping me encouraged as my date continues to be changed has been helping me keep my sanity. So yes...you'll find us Spirit-filled Christians sprinkled throughout these threads. Don't give the devil any room here...God doesn't bring you to something good...that will help to better your life...to take it away. God wants us to care for our temples... and some of us need the band to help to do that...

Stay encouraged with your head held high!

It has been so awesome to see January folks getting banded one by one. Well today is my band birthday. I am so excited that it is finally here. I pray that my surgeon's hands are steady and I am thankful to have made it unscathed through the pre-op phase. Yeah!!!!

I think I have dealt with a lot less doubt than many others because I truly feel that The Lord lead me to this path. Pray and follow His lead and you will be fine.

Got my band yesterday! So far so good - I've got some trapped air in my shoulders and chest that's bothering me, but other than that I feel great for having had surgery yesterday. :)

      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!
