Any Delaware Bandsters out there!!!



Recommended Posts

Was wondering if there were any Delaware bandsters out there... I live in the Bear area and was curious. How is everyone doing. When were you banded and have you been successful. I wanted to wish everyone:gluck: . Still trying to find my comfort zone with the fills, but have lost 43lbs since being banded on April 27th. I am at a stand still right now.. eating more than I should be.. still in for the good fight though!!:)

I have had one fill 5cc and still feel no restriction. I dont have another appt til the 24th. I am not pleased with the Drs office when it comes to appts for fills. I had the first one on the 12th of July and i have tried to call back to get a fill with no help.

How about you, how are you making out?

Where do go to the doctors at? WOW!! That was a big fill. My doctor will only give me 1cc at a time... I going to make them give me at least 2 or 2.5 for my next appointment... I go to the Chrias Center near Pike Creek. I had the same problem with getting appointments until I complained. Now they schedule me when I call.... Do you work out alot... I was a workout queen for like a month and a half, then I went back to work and lost my drive... I'm trying to get back into a routine, but exercising... UGGHH!!! I just can't get motivated.

      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!
