I had my surgery August 17, 2011. I started at 217 lbs, tops 2xl and bottoms size 18. 2 months after my surgery I found out I was pregnant. I had lost almost 30 lbs before realizing I was pregnant. At 15 weeks I had all the Fluid removed from my band. No complications at all. My band baby was born may 28, 2012. Healthy boy 7 lbs 3 oz. I gained a total of 15 lbs throughout my whole pregnancy. My son is now 9 months old and I am down to 165 lbs. size 9 in jeans and size medium top. Still 25 lbs to goal until my goal weight of 140lbs. No one said it was going to be easy but it is Definately worth it! If I can do it, you can do it! Stay focused and follow the Lapband rules. It will work for u as it has for me! Good luck! ;)

      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!
