Looks like we've all moved over to the ABC (for August Band Crew) September Chat thread on the LapBand Support forum. Come on over everyone! Maybe a moderator can lock this one so we don't have to keep going back and forth?

I Am 12 Post Sx. The Only Problem I Had Was In The Recovery Room When I Was Nauseaus And Threw Up A Couple Of Times. By The Time I Was Home I Felt Great. Other Than Tender Tummy, I Feel The Same. I Feel So Blessed That I Have A Second Chance On Life. I Went To Work On The 4th Day And Felt Ok. The Next Day I Was Dizzy And Nauseaus Again. Went Home And Called The Dr. Seemed I Was In The First Stage Of Dehydration. That Is The Only Problem I Have. Trying To Get 64 Oz Of Water Down. It That Is The Only Problem I Have I Am Very Very Lucky!!

I Have Lost All The Weight From The Sx For I Did Gain 7 Lbs, Plus 7 More. I Am Eating And Drinking What I Am Suppost To And Have Gained 2 Lbs. I Understand That It Is A Time Of Healing But It Is Very Hard Not To Want To See The Weight Come Off After Sx. I Need To Just Be Patient!! I Have Always Been Too Hard On Myself.

Robin.....are You Planning To Go The The Support Group Meetings At Dr Spivak's? I Will Probably Do So In Two Thurs. Hope To Meet You There.

Hi everyone I would like to sign up on the August Band Crew. I was banded 8/16/06 by Dr. Ortiz in TJ Mexico. So far I am doing very well with the band and am about ready for my first fill. When I made my appointment to be banded I weighed 385. I had to loose 20lbs. before surgery and have lost 17 more since I was banded. I am glad to be on your crew...Richard Evans

      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!
