Hi,

First I'd like to apoligise for messing up my first posting "banding in Toronto" I must have posted it 67 times!!! But I'm new to the forum and not the best when it comes to IT or spelling as I'm sure you'll get to find out.

I was clicking around on my computer at 4am this morning and came across this forum. It's great, I can't believe how much info I've got already. I can now throw the terms port and slipping around like I actually know what I'm talking about!

I'm from the UK but moved to Toronto 4 years ago, I immediatly got on to the Canadian lap band section and felt very much at home and comfy here!!! I went for my first appointment at the TLBC today and hope to get the ball rolling. I've very scared and worried, I just have a feeling Yes, but it won't work for me, nothing ever has! So hearing all your stories it very reasuring. Anyway I'm going to become a regular and I'll let you know how I get on.

jetlagjane... I keep telling myself that the band is a very helpful tool in the process of becoming a healthier me! This forum has helped me a lot - reading the successes, the tips and suggestions and the support everyone gives, having a chance to "talk" about my challenges, and so on. Fortunately my DH has been great too! Since I was banded in March, I have made some really positive changes in my eating habits and I also exercise more regularly! So hang in there!

      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!
