I am a former bandster and I did lose ok I would say my starting weight was 272 or 262 and my lowest weight was 189 with the the band I was sleeved on 3/19/13 and according to my doctor scale not mine i was back up to 218 and once I think I even saw 219 I finally decided after all the complications with the band being hospitalize I had enough So after begging the doctor to sleeve me he finally gave in on the date or wls I was 211 and yesterday i was 194 and today im backup to 195.6 now im feeling discourage will anything work for me when will this weight start moving and acting like its goning to leave and stay gone I know weight goes up and down and I know not to get on the scale everday I only got on because I have a doctors appt today and i didnt want any surprise when i got there but I feel he will feel like I feel its not working again what next gastric bypass really I have had some complications but to me there minor compared to what I will get or should get in the end I hope today he release me to full excerise I have not been able to due to my incision Fluid back up them reopening my incision but again all part of what I have to go through to get my bottom line result hopefully anyone else been here? Then I read yesterday on one forum that depending on the size of your stomach heck I thought U only get one size so did he leave me a large one and I will just be fat all my life ? Now I have to ask him what the heck did he do? I know I need to just keep working my tool which is the sleeve once I get released but I am the kind of person who wants to know what I am up against. So rdight now I am losing faith again I even had so much faith I gave away all my to big clothes I do mean all of them never did that before not even with the band thats how much faith I had in this sleeve now I dont know and wonder should I ask for my clothes back after all some of them clothes was new!

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.

        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!
