Recommended Posts

I am new to lapband talk and I been reading this site for a few weeks now, and what everyone had to say, it's help me alot to think about what I need to do after the surgery and what foods are good to eat after wards. So now I think i am ready to make this Journey to a new life. I am glad to know I have a place to come to if I have any questions or concerns after i have this done wish me luck I get banned on September 1, 2006 Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)

Thanks

Hi!

I'm in Texas, too!

Just wanna say good luck, and congratulations to you!

LBT is a great place for info and support...just skip past the family squabbles that pop up here and there...and ask anything you need to know!

Also, use the "search" feature located on the top of the page, across the top, where "User CP" is on the left. That way you can find info you need that has already been posted!

Nice to meet you!

Cindy

Welcome to LBT, soon you will be banded--how exciting!! Are any of these places in Texas anywhere near Comanche? A small place not far from Brownwood, or Temple. We are there several times a year.

Good Luck with your surgery, and your recovery!

Hello , I do not know what to do here but here goes.

I'm scheduled to be banded September 8th. I have been lurking for about a month now. I must say all of you are very informative. I truly enjoy this forum and you all have made me very relaxed. September 8th at 10AM. I am a little nervous but nothing like I was before I found you guys!

I guess I should have told you all I am in Wichita Falls Texas. My surgery will be here and will be done by Dr. Brett May. I am a self pay. My insurance wouldn't cover this but I figure if I want to live I will find a way to get it done.

Welcome TexasBr@t and valgal from another Texan. Lots of us here. I'm grateful that we have a bunch of great band surgeons in our state. I'm pretty new myself and still learning about how my band act (or acts up!).

Stay in touch.

Terry :)

      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!
