don't ask me, haven't lost much at all...banded on 12/16 and i'm getting really discouraged....2nd fill on the 15th and hoping for some restriction.

I was banded on 1/16 as well and lost 9#'s the first week and nothing the 2nd week ... I am hoping to see something by then end of my 3rd week.

Dont be discouraged early bandsters, you know until you reach the green zone it is gonna be slow and sometimes not happening at all. We will get there!!

I was banded on 10/21/11, and I have lost almost 45 lbs. My Dr. didnt require a preop diet so all the weight loss was after the surgery. In the first month, I had my biggest weight loss with 20lbs. I lost 12lbs the second month, and have been steadily losing about 2 lbs per week the third month into the 4th month. My weight loss has definitely slowed down now since having my first fill in January, and I am going back for the second fill next week.

I think you can expect to see more weight loss during the liquid phase, since your stomach is healing and you arent putting much into it. Most people say their weight loss tapers as they begin to incorporate solids. It all varies. Congrats on the surgery and best of luck!!

      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?
