I am still learning to navigate this site, only been truly active for a couple of months.....I haven't noticed a drop off, but then what do I know!? Are other WLS types posting here instead?

I was thinking the same thing. This site used to be hoppin with all of the posting but i very rarely get a notification of a new post anymore. I think i post less because the "recent posts" arent there anymore. Its harder to find topics. Kind makes me sad.

Maybe it is the holidays. I have noticed a lot of the peeps are not here, too!

I just found the "Recent Topics" on the right side of the screen...I am a little slow. LOL But it does help find new topics of conversation.

I think it's twofold. One holidays and life in general getting in the way. And two, the site changes have made it lackluster to come here daily. The nonexistent chat room, the new topics feature gone, the dynamic of having too many wls's and the fact that I don't see my friends here anymore make it unappealing.

Happy Holidays in case I don't see you again before year's end :)

To the banders who are having trouble just getting to the lapband site , you have to go to your settings or profile settings and scroll down to where it says what type of surgery put in Lapband and make sure it sticks save the change at the bottom , then it only brings up the lapband site hen you log in , it took a little while but Alex had posted and let us know and anytime I log on it goes straight to this site and not the other ones, now for chatting or blogging I guess you still have to go to community and click on one and hope it goes to the lapband blog or click on the chat if u want to chat but it does let you know who's on in the chat site on Lapband site , I hope this helped someone or anyone lol for us banders.

      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!
