Banded over 3 years lost 87 lbs!



Recommended Posts

Just got back on here..and thought that I would share! I got banded in Feb 2006 and have lost 87lbs and have kept it off. I weighed 215 lbs when I got the band and now weigh 128. I have kept my fill in for the past 1.5 or so without seeing my Dr. and have been just fine. I would be glad to answer any questions if there is anyone out there who needs help! Just write me..I have before and after pic on my profile! Wish everyone good luck!!! :wink:

Thanks for posting. It is wonderful to read something from someone who has been banded a while and is not having problems. We need to hear this side of things as it encourages and inspires.

Congratulations on your achievement.

I agree with elcee! Too often all we hear about are the complications and it has made me a little apprehensive about my band. Your story has inspired me!

BTW...your before and after pics are great. You are beautiful!

      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!
