My co-worker thought there would be a tube sticking out of my abdomen and that was the way you got a fill!!:laugh::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Mine did, too, lmao!!

When I told her about the lapband, that was her impression. I had no idea she was thinking that. She just told me yesterday that she watched a medical show and realized it's under the skin! DUH, lol! I was wondering why her expression was like :thumbdown: when I told her about it in the first place.

Well ever since my surgeon telepathically placed the band, I have had the worst zits on my abdomen and this one friggin' line on my abdomen that I think the tattoo guy put there - still red - I hope my tat is not infected!

Okay - I am considering getting LapBand and trying to learn everything I can. This is my first time to post. I just had to. This is too funny. If it were that easy, I would have done it already.

OK, this is a funny thread, but I have to say there IS some truth to what the lady said in the nail salon! Maybe she saw the same show I did in the morning.

A couple of weeks ago, on Good Morning America they showed a NEW procedure that is being tested that is non-surgical. They go through the mouth down the esophagus and work from there.

Here is a link to the story:

No Scars: New Obesity Surgery Goes Through Mouth - ABC News

Sounded really cool, but will be a while before it is mainstream.. I'd rather not wait!

By the way, my mom thought I was going to have a tube sticking out of me to do the fills too..haha!!!

So, there is sometimes a bit of truth in the banter that goes on! :tongue_smilie:

      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!
