Isn't it amazing.... It facinates me to watch every month how great we all are doing. It shows everyone on this forum that we are dedicated and commited to this. No matter what our differences are, or how we get there, we all have the same thing in common. That is the band!! We are a banded family, no body else can relate or understand what we go through better than us! I truly find comfort in knowing that I am not alone. I have been on this forum steadily for over a year and have learned so much from my banded peers before and after me. There is so much more to learn because our journey will forever continue as long as we have our band!

I have to agree about the blood clot I got one after surgery and my sign was leg pain. It kept getting worse got red and swollen.

      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!
