4 Weeks post lap band Op



Recommended Posts

My name is Tim, surgery 6/30/2011, By Dr. Jenson in Yuma AZ. Total Loss is 32 lbs including pre-op diet. Just some minor problems with eating as it seems the restriction is not so bad except for 2 episodes when food would not go down and 5 or 10 mins later it would come back up! I have gained a couple lbs and hope the 1st fill on 8/15 will help!

Hey Tim! My name is Stan and I was banded the day after you! Losing weight like you, and it's slowed down a bit but still going down. Not worried about it too much; doc told me this first month post op is all about healing and letting my body adjust to having something stuck inside. weight may act a little weird right now, but after next appointment with him and probable first fill, like he said, "the fun will begin..". so, hang in there.. we take small bites, we chew the hell out of those, and on we go..

let me know how the next appt goes. mine is on Aug. 8.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
