How are you guys doing with your weightloss? How much is in your band? How is your restriction? What is your biggest challenge with the band? I seen someone post this for oct and enjoyed reading it. Its good to see how others are doing with the same month surgery date. It gives you a boost..If they can do that then I need to try harder.. It helps me stay on track. so come on November bandsters how are you doing???

Hello! I was banded Nov. 17th. I have lost about 23lbs which I would never have done without the band, but I wish it were more. I am sure I could be doing better with the exercise, but I manage to find lots of excuses not to go to the gym! I just had my 4th fill and am feeling pretty good restriction, but I can't tell if I am at the sweet spot that everyone talks about. My problem is that I love junk food. I have been pretty good about staying away from it, but it calls me by name and goes down so smoothly! Part of my craving is stress. My dr. is thinking about putting me on an anxiety med. We'll see...

Good Luck in your journey!:wub:

Hey there...there's a large thread for those of us who were banded Nov of 09. If you look under the Monthly Lap-Band support groups forum, and then go to 2009, you should find november in there. Good Luck!!!!!!!:wub:

Hey I was banded Oct 29th and am down 80 pounds so far! I am thrilled. I have had four fills getting fifth tomorrow. i have about 5cc in my 11cc band. Restriction isn't the greatest but way better than pre band. I need to get on track with my Protein and Vitamins though. I fell way off the wagon. Congrats on your success.

I was banded Nov. 16. I have lost 58 pounds. I have had 4 fills, some working better then others. Restriction has been off and on for me. I have 7ccs ( I think) in a 10cc band. I have been doing well with excersise- cardio 5-6 days a week and weights with a trainer 3 days a week. Thanks for the thread- it was nice to post my progress.

      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!
