Banded November 2005 ?



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

I would just like to know anyone out there who was banded 1 year and a half ago like me and am wondering if :

1. Did you ever made it to goal and what is your goal date

2. If you have had any obstacles

3. Do you still have your band

4. How much did you lose

5. Are you still maintaining your weight loss?

Myself?

My surgery date was Nov. 10, 2005.

Weight was 251 and I am now 137, weight loss 114 lbs

I was a size 22 and am now a size 4-6

I made it to goal July 25, 2006

I never had any obstacles and I still have my band and I never had a fill during the whole weight loss process.

I will have maintained my weight for 1 year on July 25, 2007 and that day is coming by very quickly.

I am so happy that I did this and only wish I new about it sooner. It is the best thing that I ever did in my lifetime except marrying my husband who I love and adore.

I had a Tummy Tuck May 9th and a breast lift also and am doing very well. I am still quite swollen but that comes with the territory.

I wish everyone great success with their new and old journey. Life sure is wonderful.

Josephine

I must say, I'm not proud at all about my results. I know I can do so much better. I manipulate my band, drink while eating and don't eat Protein first. I'm coming back to this website to get support I'm lacking.

1. Did you ever made it to goal and what is your goal date - Haven't made it to my goal weight....real far from it!

2. If you have had any obstacles - So many, manipulation!!!

3. Do you still have your band - yes, I pray one day I'll get it together

4. How much did you lose - 30 lbs

5. Are you still maintaining your weight loss? yes

My mouth is wide open right now, as I was reading your post, my jaw dropped when I read you made it to goal by July 2006 - less than a year!

Congratulations - AND YOU HAVE NO FILL? OMG, your doing so great, your truly an inspiration for all of us Bandsters. Share your secret - what did you eat, did you exercise? how much did you eat? Come one, tell us more pleeeeeeze.

      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!
