My very first post....but I couldn't resist this time. That was an AMAZING article - touched my heart more than anything.

Only 11 days post-op but also 11 days HUNGER FREE.

I think I am finally free and I am so happy.

Thanks you so much for sharing.

I am into my second month of Physician supervised weight loss in preparation for the Lap-Band procedure and am finding a wealth of information on this site. This article is amazing and a must read for everyone. Thank you.

I know! I have to say, when I saw it in the thread about "success stories" I immediately read it. I do believe it should be a must read for those considering surgery. Copies should also be given by bariatric centers.

Welcome MSheli19. I am glad you joined for forum but especially glad you got your lapband. Good luck on your journey. I am banded 15 months and even with all the ups and downs I have had, this is the best decision I have ever made.

I must be hormonal. I actually found myself crying while reading his article. Don't you wish everyone would just 'get it' already?

      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!
