I have been banded for almost two years. Have gotten to a point where I haven't lost much but also haven't gained. More inches than pounds. Went from a tight 22W to a regular 14. I am to the point where I look at my clothes and not my weight. Get discouraged otherwise. Look forward to talking to everyone.:thumbup:

to be honest i care more about inches than pounds...hell if i could still be a height of 5'6 and weigh 250lbs but fit into a size 12 i would be happy as hell!!! but that aint reality...lol my goal weight is 170 at the least, i still want meat on my bones..jus porportioned.....so for u to have gone from a 22w to a 14 is awesome girl!!!! ur still loosing "fat" if ur going down on dress sizes.... so u shouldnt trip about the scale. the day i can fit a 14 i will probably drop to my knees and thank god...

      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!
