Hello to all my lap-band buddies! I am new to this forum, and I am new to the lap-band itself. I had my first doctors appointment with Doctor Bali of South Charleston, WV and I love him he seems to be a great doctor. I am happy to get the process moving and trying to move it forward fast as possible, but I do have the six month insurance steps so I am doing those and not complaining because that just means in six months I will be on my way to a new lifestyle and I can not wait until the new me starts to come out! So I could really use support and some friends so please email me at JacindaThomas4@gmail.com!

Congrats on making the first BIG step!! Personally the first dr visit was my biggest problem I was nervous and kind of ashamed. I don't know everything about the band yet as I was just banded 1/17, but if you have any questions I'll be happy to try and answer them. This is a great site it has helped me alot in he last month! 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!
