Banded March 20th; first fill May 15th. Wish my current loss was faster but it's a loss so I'm not going to complain. I'm enjoying my way of eating (small portions, no breads, Pasta, anything that might get stuck) but I miss raw vegetables. I haven't yet reintroduced salad stuff as I've read many people have issues with lettuce, raw carrots, etc.

Otherwise, I'm pleased with my decision and have no regrets at all so far.

Good Moring March Banders,

I had my first fill on 4/2 they did not give me the amount of cc's they put in and my next fill is coming up on 4/30. My weight loss has not moved this month it keeps fluctuaiting between 211-214 so I am staying away from my home scale and will let the RN weigh me next week, hopefully this adjustment will give me a little more restriction but not too much :) Good Luck all and thanks for sharing your progress!!

      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!
