Hi from Mississippi!



Recommended Posts

Hello all! I was banded on January 8 by Dr. Matthew French in Louisiana. So far I've lost 55 pounds. I currently have 5ccs in my 10cc band. It is a little tight, but I am using it in my advantage to loose weight! I am so happy to have the band and to have found a positive group to share this experience with!

Hey girls, you all sound so excited. I am from Louisiana and Dr. Redmann from the same group is going to do my surgery. Don't have my date yet. Just finished getting my pcp approval and blood work to them. Should have it soon. Good luck to each of you.

      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!
