Hi Cherry...I was banded 2 months ago (May 26th) and have lost 30 lbs so far. How about you? Are you banded yet and how are you doing? This is a great place for information.

Hey Jodi2523,

Congrads on your success with the band. 30 pounds in 2 months that's what I’m talking about. I am not banded (YET). I am just beginning the process. I'm actually attending the seminar on August 17, 2010 and I suppose shortly after that it will be determined the additional appointments required for me and then my approval.

I'm lucky my insurance doesn't require the 7 months of weigh in’s like several others do. It appears I will still have a 3 or 4 month wait on any procedure happening for me. I'm looking at the big picture it will happen at some point but until then I will be reading and educating myself...

Nice to meet you Jodi 2523

      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!
