6th Month Bandiversary and I Did It!



Recommended Posts

Congrats Becky! Now that you've posted your amazing loss, you need to post where you started from. This will give people a better understanding of your journey. I know you started at a very high weight (not as high as my DH though :)) and people need to understand that your journey is quite different from most.

You've done amazing work and have every right to be pleased as punch!

Becky, that is simply amazing!!!! Well done! I can't wait to be where you are. I've already warned my hubby that when I hit -100lbs, I'm going to dance naked in the street LOL. He's got the camera ready *g*

Are you at goal now, or still want to lose more?

Thanks for the inspiration. Its because of posts like this that I know I can make it (although its taking a bit longer lol).

Becky,

You are fantastic!!! I dream and dream and dream of what a one hundred pound loss will someday feel like!

I am scheduled to be banded this Friday in Dallas by your same doctor. I came to these boards because the last few days I've really been second guessing my decision. I really want to have bypass, but my husband isn't supportive of that because of the risks. We've compromised on the band. I've been getting disappointed because so much of my reading shows slow loss and eventual regain with the band. I have 150 pounds to lose, so I'm in for a loooong haul. I'm so pleased that I read your post. You've inspired me greatly!! I don't know that I can accomplish what you did, but just knowing that YOU did it and that it CAN be done is so helpful to me. And we have the same doctor to boot!

I'm so very, very happy for your success. Thanks for sharing!

B.

      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?
