I am a Medical Lab Tech, I am the one who does all of the Lab testing the Doc's order. I am usually pushing buttons on instruments and at the computer most days, so not a LOT of physical labor, mostly standing.I hope my band can help.

The benefits of high risk employment is early retirement :-)

Been retired almost 4 years, but now awfully busy as a college instructor. It beats working for a living!:frown:

C.College Program Director. As many have stated, not much physical activity, but I love sports. Especially basketball. 2 months post op and down about 30. I had my second fill last Monday, I believe I need more.

CPA here. My choice of professions sure didn't help my predicament. Now that I've lost over 120 pounds with the band I actually enjoy getting out and being active.

Wow, 120! How long did it take? I'm still not sure if I'm properly restricted. I can eat over 2 cups of food and bread, but I am making much better choices. The exercise thing has not been going well. I'm working on getting my pool open this weekend, hoping this will help as I love to swim. Any suggestions?

It took about 11 months. Keep in mind that the band is not supposed to tell you when you are full. As my doctor says, "that is your job." The band merely helps you feel satisfied with less. I don't drink any calories other than light juice (40 cals) or G2 (25 cals). And I try to walk 45 mins a day. That's about it. Well, that and eating small portions. :thumbdown:

45 minutes a day?, I start tomorrow!, can't tell you how much that advice means. As they say in life, little things mean a lot.

      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!
