Hi there! I was banded 8/24/10 and am looking for online support to get back on track after a hard summer. I have gained back 7 pounds of the 60 I originally lost, and I would LOVE to have someone to discuss this with, along with ideas of how to refocus. I would also love to pass along words of encouragement and little facts I have learned here and there that have helped me, if they might help you!

I would love to meet a female, age 30ish-40ish, or even start a group for support. Wouldn't it be great to help each other?!

Send me a message! Let's talk soon! Good luck with your goals!!! :welldoneclap:

Hello, I would love to be your lap band buddy. I just posted yesterday looking for somone. Here is what I wrote:

"My name is Jessica and I have had my band for what will be two years in December of this year and I am a measly 11 pounds less than my presurgery weight

After my surgery in 2009 I was doing great. I was losing weight and eventually reached a loss of 80 pounds by the fall of 2010. It was wonderful and I was only 20 pounds from my goal weight , then my band slipped and I had to have it removed and a new one placed.

I have steadily regained much of that weight in the year since I was rebanded. I contantly sabatoge myself and eat around my band! I need help refocusing and getting back on track.

If there is a successful and positive person out there who can and is willing to help me, I am willing to listen and give it all I have to be successful!"

If you would like to be my buddy, let me know!

      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!
