The green zone can be a little confusing to fond. I thought I was there a couple of times. Once I ended up to tight and once I went back a refilled I was all good. When you know how to control the band and work with it. You are in your green zone... Be sure to drink plenty of liquids without empty calories...

I am sorry I didnt get this sooner. Well Getting an adjustment is usally a smooth process. When you have a good dr. he knows where your portal is located. He will numb you and then connect with your portal. If your Dr is not doing great it may take him a long time to find your portol if he gets it at all. This can leave you feeling sore and little sick to your tummy. Make sure you know your DR. With a good dr Ive never had a problem. I have seen bad DR.s Hope this helps Tiffany

      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!
