Ladies, please advise how this time of month affects the lap band (if any)?

I can't really say that the band is better or worse during Pre Menstral. I do find that once I start nothing sounds appetizing (first day or so). After that I am fine. I am at restriction so if I am eating it's less than presurgery.

Going through this now. I want to eat everything...even if I'm not hungry. I haven't given in to it (thank God) but its there. As far as the restriction or pain, that really hasn't changed.

I have only been through it once so far, but I get so hungry but at the same time my stomach is bloated and I don't want to eat anything.

PMS is like that I have no band at all. It's very frustrating because I don't realize right away. I can justify eating anything at that time.

The other 22 days are just fine. Still learning how to deal with this.

      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?
