Hey there! I was banded 10 days before my 30th birthday. My starting weight was 300lbs and so far I've lost just under 20lbs. I too would like a buddy. Good luck. Message me if you would like.

I am 35. I was banded on 2/14/12 and weighed 321. I currently weigh 291. I've had 2 fills and am now feeling restriction. I've had a lot of difficulty with eating too fast and it causing discomfort. So much that I don't even want to eat sometimes. I'm rarely hungry. I'm trying to focus on getting enough Protein and Water in, which I find hard to do. Every morning I have a Protein shake for Breakfast. I just joined a gym and plan to workout at least 3 times a week. I've been walking almost everyday. My next appt is 5/15 and I'm wondering if I need a fill or not. I just downloaded an app for my phone called Eating Slow and it times you between bites. It's helping, just not something you want to use in public. Lol!

      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!
