Keep up the good work. I was banded May 24 and I am down about 14 lbs. I had my first fill on the 14th. I am learning a lot about myself and am proud of the work I am doing for MYSELF!!!

thank you for your encouraging words. Did you have a lot of pain with your fill? I am a little nervous about getting it.

thank you for your encouraging words. Did you have a lot of pain with your fill? I am a little nervous about getting it.

I was also very nervous about the fill( I dont like needles). All the anxiety for nothing.

My surgeon had me lay on my back and he felt around my belly and pushed a little...said a little pinch.... then said hold your finger here..... It was over barely felt anything...

I love my surgeon and his whole office.

I did not watch, I just layed still and followed his directions.

I was a little tired after, I think just because I was so nervous...

Take a deep breath and relax, I am positive you will do great...

I got my first fill on Friday and it wasn't back at all. I don"t go back to the doctor until next month. And I lost 6.5 lbs.

I am very glad your fill went fine... I knew you would do just fine!

My weight loss has stopped for about a week and a half... But I dont go back for a few more weeks.

I get discoraged and start the negative self talk about failure, but I straighten up and fly right.

Keep up the great work my band sister!!!

      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!

        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.

      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!
