Hello,

I was banded 9 weeks ago by Dr. Rick Fromm in Dalton Georgia (part of Dr. Jaime Ponce's group). No complications from surgery and doing well postop. Haven't had a fill yet and down 42 pounds. Life is good;) Tamara

You look great! What was your highest weight? How is your eating now?

My highest weight was 274. I still want to eat. Surgery didn't help that, but I watch what I eat. I also still drink shakes and try to force as much Water during the day as possible. It's difficult getting the 80 grams of Protein in with only food, but the Premier Protein Shakes with 30g each helps tremendously. I seem to be losing slowly now. I want to change that and boost the weight loss. I realize it's only been six months, but so many people are farther along than I am. I'm just so ready for ONEderland! :)

I feel the same way about the food. I am trying to just do better to shut myself off. I don't know if I am eating too fast or what. Sometimes I give myself more because I feel like I can eat it. However, I will be more mindful because I don't want my weight to continue to be an issue, so i have to do my part. I am full. Not stuff, and I know that is ideal

      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!
