Year 2 with band--ready to recommit--need a good mentor



Recommended Posts

Hey fellow banders--

I got my band almost two years ago to the day. Lost 30 pounds at the beginning. Almost a year ago I had a complete unfill and have slowly started refilling it but have still not gotten down the proper eating habits. I need someone who has been successful with their band who can help me out. I have 4 ccs in a 10cc band. I currently feel pretty restricted. Not sure if it is the constant changes in weather tightening me up or what.

If anyone is looking to mentor someone let me know.

Thanks,

Lisa

I started back end of October. I just asked my doctor for a copy of his guidelines and followed exactly what he said to do. I measure everything, track and drink lots and lots of Water. I was very strict for a few months but now I have been able to tailor my diet more to what my body needs. I often try new more healthier choices. Best of Luck. I sincerely believe if I can do this anyone can. It all goes back to the want power. How bad do you want it?? You can do it.

      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.
