I got the Band July 3rd - Down 50 lbs



Recommended Posts

Hello! I was just searching the internet trying to find others with Lap Band so I could have someone to talk to. I don't know any people around me that have had weight loss surgery and Succeeded. I know of several people who had weight loss surgery and failed - miserably... So that is constantly on my mind... I don't want to fail and I figure finding others to talk to would be a great help. Especially when I think so often that I will somehow screw it all up.

So far all has been great... I have only had one fill. I go for another the day before Thanksgiving... and can't wait... I know I am eating more than I should - and that worries me! So much... I just try and take it day to day. I would love to lose 100 more but I would "settle" for 75 more.

      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.

      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!
