Looking for a buddy

Hello,

I got my lapband back in March of 2010 when I first started I weighed in at 360 now I seem to be stuck between 300 and 317.

I'm 19 and attending college in Texas. My current boyfriend is very supportive and is trying to help as much as he can but honestly I find it frustrating that some things he just can't understand.

At first I was doing really well but then I began to slip off the band wagon and things have really just gone down from there. I do want to get back in the swing of things but between school and looking for work and having so much going on I simply haven't had the mental capacity to sit down and realize what I need to start doing again and what needs to change asap. I believe I'm at 8CC's right now? Not completely sure to be honest I haven't gone to the doctor in a few months because of all the hectic things going on in my life.

If anyone is willing to help and be a buddy I'd really appreciate it. Especially if you've gone through the lapband process while still in college.

Thanks for reading!

- Lauren.

      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!
