Good afternoon ladies. I see a few of you are having revision surgery from the lap band. Do you mind if I ask why you think it failed to work for you? I was looking into having band surgery and I’m curious. Thanks in advance.

Most doctors these days really won't do the band anymore. It does not have a high success rate and comes with a lot of complications. Mine didn't work because I got pregnant 5 months after having it. I have a friend who has it and she throws up every day, she can barely drink Water, and she had a recent endoscopy and her band has almost eaten away her stomach on the top.

Thanks for the reply. I have a few friends that have had it and have done well outside of vomiting when they eat too much. The sleeve and RNY scare me.

I had RYN and cannot be happier with my results. I have lost 57lbs in 11 weeks. No complications.

I'm looking for a San Antonio wls buddy. I'm afraid I'm falling off the wagon. It's been 5 months since surgery.





What side of SA are you on?

      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!
