One Year after Lap Band Surgery



Recommended Posts

This has been such an amazing journey. I have lost 70 pounds during the year since my surgery. I have have had a little trouble finding my perfect restriction, but I am very close now. I will get to a certain weight and seem to stay there a while and then will start to lose again. I have learned not to get discouraged as this seems to be the way by body acts to weight loss.

I have found Water arobics to be my favorite form of exercise . I have a bad knee so this is a way I can move without injury! Love it. In the summer I use an outdoor pool and as the weather cools I move to an indoor pool near my home. This has kept me toned and feeling good about myself!

I still have another 70 lbs. to go but I have faith by my next lap band anniversity I will be at my perfect weight!

      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!
