Banded August 2012 & only lossed 30 lbs.



Recommended Posts

Okay, let me begin by saying Hello. I was banded in 2006 - pre weight 287, in 18 months in lossed 120 lbs. Maintained 167 lbs for 4 yrs. Then my esophagus became enlarged and in Jan 2011, my doctor removed all my Fluid and I regained 63 lbs. over the next year. So in Aug 2012, I had a revision to VSG. and it has been 9 months and I have lossed 30 lbs. I know I should have lossed more. I was told since I had the band that the weight loss would be slower, but I feel I should have lost more than 30 lbs. This month I have had labwork and seen my doctor last week and he told me to give it time. But when I look at others in 6 months they have lossed 80 to 90 lbs. This is starting to be frustrating. And I go to the gym 3 times a week and walk 30 mins at least twice a week. And I am not sure whats going on. Have anyone experience this with having a revision?

What am I doing wrong and how can I fix the situation?

Please Help!!!!!!!!!

      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.

      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!
