Greetings fellow banders or wannabe banders. :) I had my surgery on Feb. 15 2007. To date I have lost 34 lbs. It has been much easier than I anticipated. When I didn't feel restricted on the amount of food I could consume I had an adjustment. This made a world of difference. So far I have had no problems. Thank God. Good luck to all.

Nurseburke,

You and I were banded on the same day and have lost exactly the same amount of weight. Doesn't it feel great?!

It does get easier everyday. I amaze myself when I think how little food it takes to sustain life when all these years I have eaten enough in one meal to feed a family of four.

Congratulations to you and good luck on your continued success.

Hi there. I just read your post and have a question. Did you have to wait till your next scheduled appointment for your fill? My next fill won't be until June 22nd and I know I need it badly!

Thanks for your reply!

Jen

      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.

        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!
