Tennessee Bandsters ??



Recommended Posts

Hey TN bandsters....

Hope everyone is ok with the weather that we all had this past weekend. It was so scary here in Spring Hill....it hailed for like 15 minutes and piled up like it had snowed. We didn't have alot of damage other than hail damage...I really hope that everyone and their families are ok.....everyone check in to let us know!

Stacey - We fared well here in the Chattanooga area. Storms coming from that direction always seem to break up or weeken when they approach our area. I swear they weeken and split when they get to all the mountains around here. We had the thunder, lightening and rain, but that was about it. That was enough, it had my dogs scared to death! I hope all of you Tennessee Bandster and your familys fared as well as we did here!

In Woodbury we got lots of hail damage and a tornado destroyed 2 homes, but we are all okay and that is all that matters. Hope you all are okay too.

Hey all, long time not talk to..... life gets so busy.... well I got over my allergy symptoms and no more drainage, but as some you already know, I had to go for an emergency complete unfill on April 10th. It has been horrible! I have absolutely no restriction and stay hungry all the time, my scales are up and down, I am so frustrated. I have gained 7 pounds for sure since the unfill. It is amazing how much I depend on the restriction! I am trying to focus on low carb, more Water and more exercise, but my work schedule don't allow for much of the exercise part....I get to get my first fill/adjustment week after next. Please pray for me that I don't gain anymore before then! Thanks for all your support!

Thanks Stacey! I came back to my part time job 3 days after surgery. I answer the phone at a car dealership. I'm a little more sore today than yesterday from sitting (with my clothes on). At home I just wear a t shirt and loose pants. I'm glad school is out and I don't have to worry about that for a while. Well, another week anyway, I'm working summer school for 2 weeks. Things are going good so far. I am more hungry today, hope that isn't a trend!!

Hi I am new to this site I live in memphis,tennessee and I have been overweight all of my life. I am considering having bariactric surgery. I am so confused about what procedure I should have (lapband or laproscopic gastricbypass) I would like some answers from people that have had the lapband. I weigh 365lbs. I feel that I may not have a lot of success with the band so please help me in my decision making.;)

      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!
