Remind yourself all you have done to get this band!

Do not waste any more time make an appointment with

Your surgeon and Start Over!

It is OK this time you can be successful.....

Start changing one thing at a time write down everything you

Put in your mouth and show your journal to your weight loss professionals

They can help you get back on the right road. Good luck!

The nice thing is you already have the band. Just start now doing the things you didn't do before, like going to see your dr. I am going to support groups that are sometimes dumb but still help keep me on track so look for something like that... just because you didn't get there before doesn't mean you can't get there now. You can. Start tracking calories, start eating again like you're banded (1 cup of food, not drinking at meals, etc.) and so on. You can do this!!

Please do it! I got banded back on 02/2008, got one fill and then never again went back to see my doctor. I lost 70 pounds, but never reach my goal weight. Two months ago, I got tired of being fat (I gained about 40 pounds). I made an appointment with my doctor to get the fiill, unfotunately my band slipped, so I went through pretty much the entire process again (surgery) to fixed it. But, I'm so happy!!!

I know that this time around, I'll do it better. I am more mature, I know what didn't work last time, I know more about nutritions and healthy food choices. I am ready to do this, and you're too!!!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
