Hi there,

Just posting my intro. I am 29, soon to be banded (Sept) by Dr.Randall in MA. I work in Gynecology and am a nursing student. I spend alot of time working and alot more time working. I also like to read, hang with my dog, swim, hit the movies, sometimes go to a bar/club. I am really looking forward to getting banded. I have been heavy most of my life, although there was a 2 year period in college where I got down to a 16 and stayed there a while.

Welcome to LBT!! I was a nurse for 12 years and went back to school for bachelor's in Accounting and still do it. I do miss the people contact tho.

I have also been heavy all my life and am looking forward to this journey to a thinner me and to stay that way.

After reading on here you know you can succeed. This is a great group here for support and questions. Look forward to your upcoming updates surgery.

I have mine tomorrow in NW GA. YEH!!

      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!
