Banded in September



Recommended Posts

I have been banded since September 26, 2006. My doctors are Dr. Hamli and Dr. Tran. To date I have lost 40 lbs. I'm due to go back to the Doctor on Jan. 19 for a full and check up. I'm hoping the wieght loss will speed up with the full. This is my first. I'm a little worried that I'm not doing as well as others who have had the surgery. Please let me know if you feel I doing okay.

Catfish... I Think Your Doing Great. I Was Banded On The 5th And I Have Lost 36lbs. I Have Even Had 2 Fills Already. You Haven't Had Any So That Makes The 40lbs Even More Impressive. We Would All Like To Lose It Faster But Remember Slow And Steady Wins The Race. Good Luck And Keep Up The Awesome Work.

Once again thanks for making me feel welcome.

      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!
