Can anyone tell me about their experience?



Recommended Posts

Hello lap banders, I am new to the site and I am here to learn...My bestest of friends got the LAP-BAND® 1 year ago...It was a long road but her family was very supportive. We recently were talkin about how as a lap bander she would ask herself if some of the things she was experiencing were a "normal" part of the healing process (nose pain anyone??)

We were able to find so many things in the discussion board! Not to mention that once we read it we figured out that being scared is a normal thing and that it's ok to ask questions...

so here goes: Is there anyone willing to participate in an interview with us?

We are trying to put together a series of "is this normal?" interviews for our blog..:) share your experience with us!!! maybe having nose pains is not such a crazy thing:):)

thanks!

      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.

      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!
