Well, I was hoping that this board would be a little more 'happening', but I guess I can get some dialogue rolling! I am a 32yo mom of three, scheduled to get banded on 1/29! I am on day 7 of the preop diet and it's not bad! (and I've lost 14 lbs, so that is incentive!!:thumbup:)

I am excited that we are at the age that we can still 'start over'! This band will absolutely change my life.

Let me know how much you are loving your band! :smile:

It works if you work it! I heard a story this morning from someone who's daughter had the surgery over a year ago and hadn't lost anything. That just tells me that they are expecting the band to do all the work for them and it just doesn't work that way.

Use it as a tool and it will help but you still have to do most of the work yourself!

Hey kristilaw!! I told you I don't come on here much... today's my first time since April 08 when I found out I was pregnant. I'm here searching for answers and advice, I think I might have an overfill from 3/6 if I'm reading right... guess I'll be going back soon for a slight unfill. I'm sick constantly and the weightloss is not happening, but I'm hopeful! Looks like you're doing great! Everything going ok for 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!
