Much older than you but I had my band in May. Will try to help if I can. This can be a tough journey and people think this is the easy way out. Hum--

Hi Lisa, I was banded in June but seem to be having a slow start. I am a nurse and work partime and I am mostly home with my little girl and the kids I watch for people. My husband is in the Army and is currently away for training. I am 33, and I would love to have someone to email and help with the motivation factor! I know what i need to do, I just really need to get my head in the game! I have lost 26 pounds but, I have seen the same weight on the scale for weeks now! I need a jump start! LOL. I think it's the exercise, I really need to find a way to get the 2 year old and the 3 month old out and be able to get a decent workout in. If you think your interested 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.

        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!
