You can watch youtube for info also. From what I have saw if you do as your dr.s say, eat right and work out you will lose.

I have not had any surgery yet but I hope to do so by the middle of 2013.

I am thinking about the lap band surgery

The first step in educating yourself about the Lapband surgery is to register for a weight loss seminar and attend. You can do this by searching 'bariatric surgeons' in your area. By asking questions and listening to the surgeons, this will give you plenty of information hands on. If you are just curious, you can read through the threads on this forum of what people are saying about it, looking at their weight loss history, journey, etc. You can also 'google' lapband surgery. There is so much knowledge out there about it..

Best of luck,

The band helps you feel full with smaller portions. You have to choose healthy food and you have to exercise. When you follow the rules the band does its job! I have lost 58 lbs in 4 months.

      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.

        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!
