Hi so very glad to meet somebody from Noblesville. I'm on my 7th Day of my band. I know I'm just a baby but I want to do it right. While I am still a little tender I'm feeling good. I want friends that have done it that can share experiences the good and the bad. Who did your band? I had my band done at Community North Dr McEwan. I am so ready for something more than broth and shakes.

I am engaged, been with the same guy for about 6 years will probably do a fall wedding. I have a 15 yea old son, and 3 fur babies.

Hi you two! I'm in Columbus. I was banded 3 years ago and am so glad to see new life on the Indiana forum! I lost 35 pounds and want to get serious about doing this right and losing the rest. Barb, I remember when I could finally eat mashed potatoes- it was heavenly. Hang in there - not much longer!

Okay - I just realized the posts I commented on are from May. I hope you two are doing well! My name is Clindy - I'm originally from Greencastle. Anyone in Indiana interested in bringing this forum back to life? As well as your lap band journey? I'm looking for people who don't want to make excuses and complain about the band. It's a tool, just like the scale. It's up to us to do the work, but if we get our heads in the right place, we can do this right and Celebrate our successes...and take each day step by step together- sharing struggles and finding answers - then moving forward.

      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!
