Thank you everybody for your support, I am actually at 102 pounds lost now YIPPY =)

But I am a little sad, the last time I went in for a fill I had to meet with my dietician and she told me that since I have lost half of my goal that I am probably not going to lose anymore and that the band stops working. Has anybody heard of this? It really put me in a bad mood, isn't she suppose to be there for support? My surgeon was very encouraging he kept saying "we are going to get there together" etc.

I don't know if it is true or not but I am not stopping my whole eating habit is completely different, I don't even look for bad choice's anymore I am always picking out the smallest and healthiest options that are avaliable plus I workout at least 5 days a week.

What a bunch of bull!!! I have a friend that lost all her weight, 196 pounds, with the band. I've lost 75 and have 25 to go and I will tell you that it's slowed way down - but I'm still losing. Just continue to make the right food choices and you will be fine! BTW - I'd tell your surgeon what she said.......that's not very good for business!!

I agree with HowdyBooth. I am half way there as well and very much looking forward to hitting that 100lbs loss very soon. (Congratulations by the way!!!) As long as you are eating healthy and exercizing you can get to your ideal weight. Of course it will slow down the smaller you get and the harder you will have to push yourself when you workout. But that doesnt have to do with the lapband. Its all about %'s. If you lose 5lbs in a week when you weigh 300lbs, then that same % of weightloss at 200lbs would only be about 3lbs. The same for the exercizing, when you were 100lbs heavier it burned much more energy to do the same amount of exercize. So you must bump up the time or speed. You will get where you want! Good luck!

      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!
