I got the Mid-band on the 21st of February. So far everything is going great, I have gone from 240 to 215. If anyone has any warnings, or just advise let me know.

Is this a normal weight loss in the begining? I am going on my third week and really don't know what to expect. I feel like I can eat more then my 2 ounces but don't want to push it, my concern is that I can't get my fill until 4 more weeks. Do doctors usually make you wait 6 weeks before a fill?

My doctor won't do it for 6 weeks. I'm hoping to go back and get it done over Easter weekend but not sure how busy it is in Mexico at that time.

I had my surgery on Feb 20th and I've lost 22 lbs but man I'm starting to get hungryyyyyyyyyyyyyy. I ate things yesterday that I know I shouldn't have and I'll try to not do it again but I'm so hungry.

Good Luck and continued success with your journey...

Congrats on your 25 lb loss....hope you keep it off and continue losing more before your fill.

      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!
