Hello all, I have been on here for awhile but mainly just to get some reading information and answers to a few of my million questions! I am currently wainting for the insurance to approve me as I have completed all of the requirement that they had set, so wish me luck and hello to ALL!

I am in Keller, between downtown Fort Worth and the Texas Motor Speedway.

I am also waiting on insurance.

It looks like you've already dropped more than a hundred pounds in advance. Congrats!!

I'll race you to 200.

Good luck!

I have lost over 130 but as of now I am only down 90, I changed from second to first shift and BOOM instant 40lbs since september. I am back on track and dropping again but I have done this up and down crap for the last 10 years:thumbdown:. Enough about me, who is your doctor and how long have you been waiting on the ins. company? I chose Dr Carter but I have been reading about the way he does his fills and I think that it will take a year just to get enough in the band to make a difference, I also turned all of the paperwork about 1.5 weeks ago, so I am getting anxious. I am all for the race, now what are we gonna put on it to make it good?!

My surgeon is David Kim. He airs local TV commercials.

I was shopping around and he was the first I went with. I love the staff in his office. They are knowledgeable and have been nothing but helpful.

I was supposed to have a date on January 6th but my cardiologist didn't not cross all of his Ts and dot his Is.

Hopefully I will hear sometime this week. I am planning on surgery being early February.

I'm dropping weight in preparation as well. I want the lapband to be my safety net. So, I don't put it back on...again

"Again" I feel your pain there, I have been in the 400's and I really dont know how heavy I was but Low carbed it all the way to 285 in 10 months. I was soooo burned out by that time there was no way I could stay on it, so the yoyo dieting begain and before I know it I was at 385 again. I dropped back down to 280 from jan. to sept. of last year and I am at 325 right now. I changed shift at work and never could getback into a schedule or routine with the family and all of the sporting events and then the holidays. I am getting back on track i think.

      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!
