Hi! I am 2 plus weeks post op with the realize band. I'm on soft foods now (much easier than liquids!) but I'm finding that I'm hungry between meals. The weight loss this week is slower than the first week (actually it has stopped!) I can't wait for the first fill! I had mine done in Buffalo, NY....how about you?

I have Realize Band! So far so good (was banded in June). And I like the low profile port. When I get all my excess weight off, I think it will be pretty hard to see (right now I can't even feel it on my own. All my fills so far have been under fluoro). Love my band! Good luck!

I was banded with the Realize Band Aug 26. I get my first fill on the 23. My doctor was on vacation so I had to wait longer for the first fill. But that's ok.

I too have a bit of hunger and my weight loss came to a stop but as long as I didn't gain I was happy. Was surprised this week when I stepped on the scale and noticed a 2 1/2 lb loss.

Good luck all :thumbup:

      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'. ???

      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!
