Need lap band buddy



Recommended Posts

Ok so I know I am stubborn enough to go it alone since the family and friends I have now are against this idea including my dr. Since she referred me into this bariActric clinic. I am sure I will have a melt down and it's good to know you have a friend who understands what you are going through. I am 44 242.6lb from 273.6lb now 5'4" and looking for a mentor/friend

Miss Avery, I am pretty much feeling alone also. I have made a few contacts on this site. I was banded 6 days ago in Mexico. I live in Canada and opted to travel to have surgery without a long wait list and red tape b.s.

I weigh 212 LBS and am 5ft 4inches. I am returning to work tomorrow and I too could use a buddy. Add me as a friend and we can chat!

Hi everyone!!! I would really like to find a band buddy to help support me if there is anyone out there willing. I am 23 yrs old and 320 pounds...i am having my lapband done on April 29th. I could really use a good support buddy!! I don't have anyone around me that is helping me with my journey..my boyfriend more or less tries to sabatoge my weight loss because he doesn't want me to loose the weight fearing i will leave him...my only true support buddy i had was my mother..she was there for me and kicked my butt when i needed it,but sadly she passed away december 4 of 2010 so now i am all alone on my journey. I would really love to be able to talk with someone who is going through or has gone through the same thing so if there is anyone out there that would like to talk please message me so we could talk! Thank u so much... <3

      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!
