Hey All,

My name is Myra and I am a new bander. I had my lap-band done on Dec 31, 2009... Way to keep a New Year's resolution. I am a week and two days into it and have just started on my mushy food stage. I am feeling pretty good about my decision, but had you asked me a week ago, I would've had a different answer. I seem to have the itchiest port hole ever!! I had some Fluid behind it, but I think that's starting to heal itself. Other than that I have been a model patient. I started my journey at 243lbs, in Sept 2009, which is when I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. I am now down to 214.2lbs as of this morning. My pre-pre-op diet weight was 239, then I lost 11lbs before surgery. I have since dropped 14lbs before my first fill. I am not do for a feel until Feb. I am excited. It looks like I can be under 200lbs before my 32nd birthday, in March!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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!

        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.
