I live in Charleston, IL, but am getting banded in Champaign, IL. My surgery is scheduled for 1/19. Yep, just a little over one day away.

I am looking forward to meeting folks through these boards. I know that having support can make all the difference to reaching success.

I live in Weldon..... I was banded July 2010 in Champaign by Dr. Rohrscheib... I am down 70 lbs. I have had ups and downs. I now am trying to get back on track. I am the type who wants to lose it slow so I dont have a lot of excess skin. I have some restriction. More so in the morning than evening. I am trying to stick to a low cal diet... So far I am doing awesome. 2lbs a week. work out on my elliptical everynight.... Best of luck on your new Journey.... This website is amazing.

I live in Belleville which is about 30 mins across the river from St Louis MO. If anyone would like to/or needs a workout or an accountability partner please hit me up, if you are in Fairview Heights, Ofallon, Shiloh, and would like to work out in the evenings or on the weekends please send a message, also work in Pontoon Beach so anything after work would be ok in Pontoon Beach/Granite City, Collinsville/Maryville area.

      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!
