Just had Lapband Surgery



Recommended Posts

Just like to say I've been reading alot of the vlogs and they are so inspiring to listen to. I just had Lapband Surgery on Monday Nov. 03, 2008. Everything went well. I'm in my first week, so I'm on only liquids, its not so bad, but can't wait to get some food next week. I haven't cheated so I'm proud of myself, because I'm a candy freak, I have a real bad sweet tooth. My starting weight two weeks before surgery was 228. I haven't weighed myself yet, because I need to buy a scale. My first doctors appt. is on Nov 13, 2008, so i will weigh in then. I live in Philadelpha, Pa. Had my surgery at Einstein Hospital in Elkins Park. Surgeon Dr. Alfred Trang. Very Very good. They took real good care of me. This my first time on here, so please respond, I would love some feed back. This is tashag the new girl on the block.:blink:

Hi, I'm officially a BANDSTER!!! Banded Nov. 5. I just got back yesterday from San Diego. I had my band surgery at Hospital Angeles in Tijuana. The hospital was very clean and stylish. The care was better than I've ever experienced in the States! If anyone is considering Mexico you can contact me. I had Dr. Corvala as my surgeon.

      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!
