Hey there! How are you other March 2009 Bandsters doing? I was most excited as I finally hit the 100 lbs lost gang! :biggrin: Seemed like it took me forever to get there...and hopefully eventually my mind will catch up with my body. (clothes shopping is really difficult - as I cannot judge sizes and have to try everything on!)

I was just curious how everyone else was doing...I still want to get my pannus removed (isn't that what it is called?) as I have a horrid rash from it, though wearing my body magic has really helped in shaping my figure as I lose the weight....and the "grandma wings" leave something to be desired, but I am still very happy I went the route that I did....who knows where I would be now had I not had surgery!

Hope everyone is doing well!!!

Things have been good and bad for me. I have suffered from acid reflux. When my band is to tight it is really bad. I had lost 135lbs, until I had my band let out to releive the reflux. and gained 20 lbs back in no time. I am tighter now but I can't seem to loose the 20lbs so it's gotten me a little down worried I am going to go back to the way I was. I don't regret doing this I am healthier and happier. I am working on becoming a support group leader, so that I can help others and my self.

Kim Where did you get your body magic? I have ha a hard time with my waist line and upper stomach area. Glad to hear you ar doing so well. keep up the good work.

Wow you have done great! I signed on to be a distributor as I am in Kansas and I couldn't find one to buy from LOL So I can order you one at wholesale cost if you want --- shipped directly to your door. (I figured by being a distributor I can help friends and family get the wholesale pricing -and feel as great as i do!)

Let me know if you want one...with taxes and shipping it usually ends up being around $110...but it depends on where you live. You can view them on my website -- www.ardysslife.com/figuresforfamilies but ignore the retail pricing on the website! I thot it seemed pricey at first, but this thing has literally changed my life....I feel so much better about myself and LOVE the results. I think it really helped me to get over the plateau I hit.

keep up the good work!

      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.

        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!
