Hi I am only 5foot and around 200lbs. I gained alot of weight when I had my son and being a stay at home mom just haven't been able to keep it off. I worked out most of the summer about 3 days a week and tryed to eat healthy. I felt better overall but saw no weight loss. I tryed the no carb stuff but couldn't stick to it. I am over all pretty health other than being over weight. My BMI is 39.1 just under the min. I am planning to have another baby this year. I am really thinking about getting the lapband done once I am all healed up and done breastfeeding the new one. Im just not sure. Any thoughts? Oh and a main reason I want to lose the weight is so I can get a breast reduction. I wear a 38 HHH bra. My doc has said he thinks its a good idea once Im done having kids and breastfeeding but he wants me to be much closer to an ideal weight before the reduction. For someone of my hight an ideal weight is between 95 and 110. I haven't been that small since middle school. IDK

I did a reduction 16 yrs ago and I was at normal weight at the time. Unfortunately, it made breastfeeding really difficult years later so it is good that you are waiting until after you have kids.

I got heavy about 12 yrs ago and let me tell you, my boobs grew back! I still think they are smaller than they would've been if I never got the operation and then got heavy but they certainly got bigger as I got bigger.

I wish you well.

      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!
