Possible September Banding



Recommended Posts

Im getting a little more excited, I went to see my PCP today, and to my suprise she completed the recommendation form, and said she really feels that once may weight decreases, the sleep apnea, hypertension, and insulin resistance would most likely go away. She originally did not agree to the band, but reviewed info about it, she now says that it would be my best option to use in long term health and weight control. (What I have left to do?) I have just 2 nutrition visit, which 1 is this coming Monday and another 1 , is 25 days from the first 1, have to go to a support group meeting this month, followup with the surgeon and wait on the insurance, which stated that it can take anywhere from 7-21 days for approval. So Im looking to be banded by the end of September.

Congratz, to everyone that will be banded in September or October. Woo hooo--

I have a question for you guys, Have you went to a Lap Band Support Group?

I went yesterday, and it was wonderful. Very supportive and informative. It was mandated that I go to 1 support group meeting. But I will be going back next month. They give great feedback regarding the experience, recipe ideas, etc.

I had to go to one also. It was mandatory bit for me I wasn't into it. I probably won't go back. I know they say it's good to go to one but it's not for 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.

      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!
