When I'm not in pain, I can also burp easily.

To those of you who have the surgery coming up' date=' I want to give you a happy reminder of why we're all doing this... I just had my 1st post-op checkup and found out I lost 14 pounds since the surgery last Wednesday! And 26 pounds total since starting the liquid diet three weeks ago...

I don't know what happened with Shirley or what her health was like otherwise, or what happens to the others who have problems, but remember that the overwhelming majority of people who have the band are fine. And the majority of people on here are doing pretty well, too. You have to make decisions based on your knowledge of your own body, and your own circumstances.

Just think of all the people in the world who are out there, successfully going about their days and weeks, feeling thankful they have this, who don't think about coming to a forum anymore because they've just incorporated the band into their day to day life...[/quote']

Your message is the best thing I've read in days, you are absolutely right. I will have my surgery on the 1st, and I really needed to hear a message of hope! Thank you for making my day :)

What's touria said was absolutely right! Very good update...my heart rate is back up! I'm doing much better! They think I might get to go home today! I havent been on any pain meds, and honestly, haven't felt like I really needed them(not that I couldn't use it). My problems had nothing to do with the band itself! & I would never discourage anyone from their journey! Mine just had a rocky start is all! I'm ready to start mine!!

And sashaWLS thanks for putting that int perspective! The surgery itself went great. And complications are the rarity and not the norm. I still have wicked chest pain die to the gas. But even that has subsided a little.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
