I went in for a lap band fill today....



Recommended Posts

I had point 1 cc put in this 4cc band, so it has tamed my appetite, and I will be on liquids for a while.

But i feel Great ! When I first went in 12 weeks ago I weighed 288. Today I weigh 255 Difference of

33 Lbs... I was shocked myself, because I only go by his scale. But I'm rite in the Ball Park.

If this keeps up, I can see, feel, smell, taste, and DREAM of Onderland in sight for the end of this year.

If it slows down, then let say by Easter.....

If that happens,,,, it will be the first time since I was a Teenager.

I almost forgot,,,,, When I first got weighed for my pre op diet, I weighed 356.

It took a while to happen, but that's 101 Lbs. Gone for Good !

Slowly but steady, this Turtle will keep moving along.

You will in time notice a big difference. If the first fills are not all that much, then like the rest of us, you probably won't even notice it. But once it does kick in,,, you will be able to tell the difference.

Thanks, Shirley

      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!
