I'm super excited to be on this journey. I had my birthday party saturday....i was most exited to find a beautiful dress that fit right off the rack. I was more exited abt how well my dress fit than having a party I haven't been this size 4 years

I'm very happy for you! I am new to this site because I have been thinking about getting lap band done. I am 5'6 and 242lbs and 36 yrs old and been heavy most of my life. I am so very ready for a change.

If you dont mind, I would like to ask you if you would do it again? What was the most frightening situation you went through?

I am just thinking of doing it. My insurance will not cover. I have Kaiser. I am very very interested but self pay means I will have to finance it. I believe it is worth it but I want to hear more results.

Thank you for your time,

Liz

is the best decision i have made for my self. I would do it again in a second.I didn't or haven't experienced anything really frightening I was really nervous before the band bcz i didn't know what to expect.....ALL thought i am only 2 months post op.....you just need to research the surgeon ask questions look him up and make sure he hasn't had complications with his other patients....

Hi Liz, I just sent you a response to your message, and I hope you got it. I just wanted to add that I have Kaiser Insurance too, and they will actually cover Lap Band, Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, and Gastric Bypass; however, they are not recommending Lap Bands for the barriatric patients anymore due to so many problems which have occurred. I just had revision surgery and had my lap band removed and a vertical sleeve put in. Dr. Billy was my surgeon for both, and he is so wonderful!

      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!
