The Band & Remodeling Contractors



Recommended Posts

Hello Gentlemen. I am a newbie around here and have been lurking for about a month now, getting a feel for the board and learning a lot about the band. I am a self employed remodeling contractor here in So Cal and am wondering if there are any other contractors here that have been banded? I am a one man shop that subcontracts a lot of the specialty trades but do most of the work myself. Obviously, I will discuss this with my doc as I proceed, but am interested in any personal experiences. Thanks.

I live in La Quinta, near Palm Springs. I relocated out here in 2003 from Kansas City. Got tired of living through 4 seasons every year so I traded it in for one long hot summer. Love it.

Thanks for all of your posts Headhunter, I have read many of them during my lurking period and they helped me learn a lot from a different perspective. It sounds like your journey has been an interesting one. Hopefully mine will be less adventurous yet very successful. Knowledge is a good thing.

      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.

      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!
