Thank you all for responding sorry it has taken a while. I was supposed to go talk to my surgeon a second time on my decision but I postponed it because I am not ready and haven't made any type of decision on to hold off or get the sleeve/Rny. I hate the thought of having a second surgery due to the unknown being 20 years old but I guess that did not stop me the first time at 15 years old. I thank you all for your advice and will keep you updated. I did not follow the lap band to the best that I should of that maybe because of being 15 years old or bouncing around places moving and not keeping up with the same surgeon. The pain is not regular but some times frustrating when eating but it seems the band is just there. Thank you again hopefully I will figure something out.

People, I thought we were here to support one another. We are all human and have made

mistakes. but to blame one another for a slipped band is like closing the gate after

the horse has already escaped. It may be our fault for a failed band, but we need to be a little more understanding. I know I need all the support I can get. I feel badly about not losing all the weight that I could have lost and already feel like a

failure due to my own errors and I'm sure others like me may feel the same way :)Much Luv

I chose the band cause I was too scared to be cut into. The risks were lower and the cost was cheaper. 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.

      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!
