Hello everyone,

It is good to find a site where there are so many people that have a common interest. My weight is a sore subject and my husband just found out my TRUE weight while visiting the Doctor a couple weeks ago.I am still in the Pre-Op stages and I have no idea whether or not I am approved or when my surgery is. I am so excited about this journey that I am about to travel. I am tired of being TIRED Literally. It is time for a change in my life and for me to reclaim my youth! All of the stories I have read are so inspiring to me and I thank everyone for sharing. I have alot of weight to lose in order to reach my goal so I just need LapBand to give my some help in that area.My Dr seems to be so knowledgable and patient so I felt so comfortable when we met. So here it is:

Current Weight: 351 pounds

Target Weight Goal:150 pounds

BMI over 50

Age 27

Surgeon: Dr. Paul Enochs

Cary Bariatric Center in Cary, North Carolina

-FeFe :P

Welcome and my bf of 7 yrs found out how much I weighed during my consulting visit too! How embarrassing but he's more supportive know-how so it was worth it! Good luck on all of the pre stuff.

Banded 2-1-11 down 18 lbs...first fill 3-7-11!!! Can't wait for "chewy" (my band's name) to get fat so I can get skinny!

      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.

        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!
