May 24, 2006; In June '09 I was 7 lbs from goal and my doc insisted I had lost 17 lbs too quickly from March to June. He insisted that I get a slight unfill for the long term health of my band and I've never been that close again.

I've done well till lately. Since Dec I've been having lot of pain and can't get answers but will keep posting on what I find out.

I have had band 4 years. Unfortunately I did not follow doctors guidelines and gave up. I don't advise this. I have been back on track since end of October and doing really well. My life has changed and continues to change all the time. I cook most of my meals and measure everything. I will not go off track again. I am in so much of a better place now and will continue forward. I have lost 95.2 so far and had no problems with my band other then too full a couple times.

      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.
