Erosion: Our OWN Statistics.



Recommended Posts

I imagine some of those 614 views are people like me who aren't banded yet but trying to keep up with developments and info.

Hope to be banded in the next few months! Going to a seminar this Thursday!

Very welcome. Its actually not hard work :D Excel does the whole thing. I'm too lazy to work hard!

Now I just need about 300 more folks to post and this will start really showing great data.

And one or two Lopez 'non erosions' would be great. Right now the poor guy is 3/3 on erosions!

Scariest MicroFact so far.

Two people banded on the same day, one by Ortiz, one by Lopez, both eroded WITHIN 10 days of each other. I think it was 605 days installed vs. 608 days installed.

Thanks to all that have posted, and any who haven't - come on! join in and lets not make the numbers so bloody scary!

      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!
