i have finally gotten my surgury, i finally have a lapband. i am 6 days post op, i have my operation on march 14, went in to the hospital around 331 pounds and I am already sitting at 316 pounds. I am very excited to see how this all plays out. and how quickly i lose the weight. my goal is 120 pounds off. I am about to finish up with the first week of all liquids and move on to purrese and well chewed foods. It is very new to me to not be hungery at all. most of the time. I can say that i still miss chinese food and chocolate at the moment but i cant say no to most of it. and find that i am savoring the smallest bits of food.

I am very excited about this change in my life, and very much looking forward to seeing a new person when i look in the mirror.

I am wondering if i will need to fill the band at all cause right now im not feeling hungry at all.

I am very excited.

any my recovery time seem short, i was back up and walking in a day or two and feeling better every time i wake up. didnt touch the pain meds they gave me.

everything went with out a hitch at the hospital.

Like i said just very very excited to feel comfortable in my own body.

Congratulations on being on the banded side!

It is exciting to think about our life changing for the better.

I've already cleaned out my closets 4-5 times already.

The whole experience is a learning experience. Good luck on your journey!

Your stomach is still swolen and may be or another week to 10 days so you're feeling some restriction now. But it may not last. Cross your fingers you evade Bandster hell?

      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!
