hi diana,

welcome to lapband-land. glad you are on the way up with your recovery.

generally, in the beginning, people join the group of people that are banded the same month as you. this way you can check and see how all of you are doing and any issues rise and potential solutions.

of course you can join any special interest groups but sept 09 group may be a good starting point.

under the general forums, you can find the groups by month

good luck with your band

September 2009 Band Date

Hi Diana, have you added your date to this post? There are a lot of us going through the same journey, banded 09/09. I think you asked about week 3 in another post? I'm looking forward to low-fat ricotta with marinara and a sprinkle of parmesan for week three. Also fat free refried Beans with cheese and maybe salsa.

      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!
