Yeppers ya got it I am new to here and new to the idea of getting Lap-banded.

I live in Alaska, I am a male, *noticed from reading around here seem to be lots of ladies so be gental with me please* and I will be a self payer *or what ever you call that*

Sorry for such a short post I am very excited to be here and have a ton of question but I am on my way out the door as of right now so I guess they will have to wait till later tonight.

Hope to get to know you all and talk to all of you soon,

Sam

Hi Sam,

Don't worry about the abundance of females on this site... we do have some male companions and everyone regardless of sex is helpful and friendly.

I hope you find all the research you are looking for... feel free to ask any questions, everyone here is so warm and willing to assist.

Good luck in your research.

I am working on my date right now I might be a week away from making it , I am totally excited about it though. Its time to change my life I have always thought if I don't like myslef then why would I exspect anyone else to liek me also. It seems harsh but I also know that there are some of you out there that will understand my logic. As soon as i get a date i will tell you and I will be totally excited about it. I hope it does change me for the better i am a pretty level headed person and I honestly hope to stay that way but I have heard of people changing a lot do to weight loss and I really do like my personality the way it is and I hope to keep it, however I know its a drastic change for me also.

If I can keep a level head and be the same person i was once beside my outer looks I will do all in my power to help as many people as I posablely can. Being over weight for life is an awful thing and I am sad for anyone that has to go though life and yes I am VERY over weight right now but I also feel like for once in my life I can see the light at the end of the tunnle and it gives me great hope more then i can even exsplain.

      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!
