Bandiversary Today, But Dr Wants To Take It Out ) =



Recommended Posts

Hi judych'

My surgeon went in and adjusted my band surgically. He did not have to replace my existing band. He had orginally taken all fill out which will, at times, let the band readjust itslf. But mine did not, so he had prepared for the worst, which was to replace it But, when he got in the operation, he just had to readjust it. Hope that explains it. ;-) Karen

thanks Karen... how is it all going with you now?? Im having difficulty with meats since my first fill. i had 3ccs into an empty band about ten days ago.

I am doing good. I have no trbl but obviously watch everything I put into my mouth. My surgeon tells me I am in the "green zone". I have gained some, but am holding now. I want to loose what I gained but he won't do it with any fill as any tighter, it would not go down, as barium needed Water help! So. it is all will power for me now. I am still walking at least 45-60 minutes a day. I am whole lot healthier than when I started, let me tell you. Only one getting winded in my walks, now, is my grand daughter who sometimes ventures on Grandma's walks. ;-) Take care, I hope that your results are what you are looking for. Karen

thanks Karen.. i hope our results are what we are looking for as well. YOu are doing so well. Walking for that long every day is wonderful. Somethings wrong here with me, im so distracted and on the go most days its hard to fit a walk in. My dr said that i was getting enough exercise anyway.. i hope he is right. Well... last week we pulled up carpet from our loungeroom... six quares worth. lol. that was a major undertaking. then i was in the city with our son, helping out with you can guess... just everything had been put on hold for me for when i visited. lol. that lasted three days. now home this weekend im cooking, cleaning ,picking up after, washing for two men and believe me they are untidy. They think they live in the bush.. lol. So, at the moment i am getting enough exercise. i would like to be able to just have a leisurely paced walk now and again though . Perhaps in spring. we have winter here right now.

      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.
