Does anyone else worry they will fail with the band?



Recommended Posts

I never thought I would fail either. You have to do it and stick to it. I was not going to fail this time.

That is my biggest fear... But I feel that the band will be a constant reminder to eat healthy and not over eat.

I feel that the band will be a constant reminder to eat healthy and not over eat.

It is. Also I can say having been on numerous diets.... when you stop pick a name diet... you revert back to bad habits. With the band... when I stopped my losing stage... I didnt change my eating. Just maybe a few things here and there but my band governed my ability to over eat. And I knew that going back to fast food and high calorie things wouldnt agree with me so I just do not eat them. Thats why I beleive the weight will stay off this time.

I was freaking out I would fail. These boards have helped so much. I no longer have the anxiety of failing. Keep reading the boards. Now I need to find a way to lose Christmas weight.

I feel the same way. I feel like this is my last chance and am so scared I am going to be the one who can't do it. I have a love affair with food and I am worried I won't find the comfort it gives me anywhere else.

I'm worried that I will fail as well. But you just have to be positive, follow all the rules and really, really want it.

I refuse to be a failure this time around.

      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!
