October 2012 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

I was banded on October 12, 2012 and have lost 35 pounds so far. I have only had 2 band fills with a total of 3cc in my band. My mother was banded several years ago. While I haven't experienced any Hair loss. She did, but her hair is growing back thicker now than ever. She takes Bariatrics Vitamins and Biotin. I'm glad to have found all you fellow October 2012 bandsters!

I haven't started to lose any hair yet. I have started to take optisource chewable vitamins for post bariatric surgery the past 3 days and have lost 3.4 pounds. I'm taking that along with calcium citrate and Biotin daily. I have increased my Water intake.

Ive been losing since mid december..banded 10.23..its been almost 8 weeks and still losing hair... its amazing how everyone reacts different. Ive taken all the right Protein and Vitamins including Biotin and Iron. Still happened. The general concensus is it will stop and come back. Just when and how much is the nagging question.

      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?

        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.
