So where are the Virginia bandsters, I know we've got some here. Signgirl is probably hanging out in the sun with a cool island drink in her hand, in Mexico, I'm so jealous.

Come on VA gals, what's up, how're you doing?

WTG Kara, welcome to LBT and the VA site.

I usually hang out in the NJ thread, just a great bunch of caring ppl there, sharing the same journey. Funny thing is very few ppl are from NJ, just a great thread.

Hi! How are all the Virginian bandsters? I was banded at the beginning of January and am doing well, still on mushies, no adjustment until Mid March, which worries me, but so far I have been doing pretty well and feeling good. I am starting an exercise program this evening. Just walking with my Hubby at the gym (well he will be running). I hope this will be the start of a great habit! I have been on the Exercise boards and everyone there is SO hardcore, it's very inspiring!

Congrats, I'm still awaiting for my surgery date. I hope it's soon! my inscurance does not require prior approval so I'm not sure why it's taking to long.

Hey everyone. Just thought I would say hello. I'm about 5 weeks post op now. So far, so good. Weight loss has slowed WAY down now and I'm really looking forward to my first fill on the 25th.

HarleyNana... I know you had some recent surgery. How are you feeling? Are you happy with your results? I hope you are well. :smile:

Hey, ColoradoChik... are you being banded by Dr. Pinnar (Jr. or Sr.)? I'm being banded on March 12th by Dr. Eric Pinnar. Very excited and nervous.

      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!
