Hello everyone

I live in Texas and thought that if would be fun to see how many people living in Texas are banded or going to be banded. So I started a group called Texans Banddters. If you live in or around Texas please join the group. :lol:Good luck.

Hi,What an awesome idea. I'm from Silsbee,Tx. I was banded in Mexico on 11-21-08. To date I've lost only 35 lbs, but I've lost several inches. Weight loss is slow,but I'm content as long as I'm losing inches also.:thumbup:

Hello!! I'm in Alvin, TX, south of Houston. I was banded Dec. 29, 2008. I have lost 20lbs since surgery. It has been slow going, but I think my doctor has me close to my sweet spot, because I am losing now.

      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!
