11 months into lap band



Recommended Posts

I have lost quite a bit of weight in the first months after surgery getting to 205 from 287 however i injured my back was put on steroids and cant exercise now im back up to 225 and not happy. I am not able to digest much only seems like unhealthy foods stay down. Anyone else going through this frustration?

Steroids will cause weight gain. If you can only eat unhealthy foods are you too tight? Discuss it with your surgeon.

It is VERY difficult to lose weight while on steroids if not impossible. Discuss your options with your Doc and tell him what's going on.

I have been stuck at 270-280 for a few months now. Coming down from 350, still is upsetting to be stuck. I think I have not lost anymore because I have not paid attention to what I am suppose to be staying away from. A couple of months ago I was able to get down to 250 but gained 20 back and that was due to eating chips and more cruchy stuff. That hurt my band and made it impossible for me to keep anyhting down. I finally went in and had some liquid removed. I have been going back and forth. I cant stand the pressure I feel and the pain I have. Sometimes it feels like I cant even breath. Then a few days go by and I feel a little better. Does this happen to you at all?

      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.

      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!
