Im Still around



Recommended Posts

Hello, everyone.... I am still here.. Trying as always and aways.. I am still having problems, but trying my hardest to make the best of it all. I think I need a fill..... I heard "one" time that it takes 2-3 maybe 4 fills to hit THAT sweet spot... well even thought I have been banded almost 2 years and I have only have had 1 maybe 2 fills after my new band I need to go back to the fact that it can take 3 - 4 fills to hit that "sweet" spot... so I am waiting and I have not givin up yet.. It has been It has been 20 months since I had the band.. I have lost over 70 pounds.. I am waiting to lose more..I know 70 pounds is good, but a start of 341 pounds, and almost 2 years... is not good, but.. my problems and mayjor complications I guess 70 is really good.... I envy everyone out there that started with me, and has already past me... Love ya!!!

I have been with LBT since Dec. of 2004... and I will always be here even if I dont talk much, I am here... Love ya all!!!!!!

Thanks for listen to me vent!

Hi Trish

Good to see you. Hope this band goes a bit more smoothly for you. Patience is hard - but 70 pounds down is better than a kick in the head, right?

Hugs and Good Luck!

Hey Trish-- it's good to hear from you again--maybe now that the weather is sort of settling down you can make it up here to have a fill. Although, Dr. Smith is out of the country right now--I called to get an appt for a fill and could not get in until the 26th of Feb, and I can't wait. This will be my 3rd fill in about 2 months-- I can't seem to find that sweet spot either. Although, I am doing fairly well with my weight loss, but I do feel like I can eat way to much--I just have to force myself not to. If you do make it up anytime soon, let me know, and maybe we can get together. Hang in there, and e-mail me anytime you want to chat, or just vent.

      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!
