I was banded April 13th 2006 at the Toronto LapBand Center. Dr. Joffe and Dr. Yau were my surgeons. cost tax incl. $17,500. My pre-op weight was 357 which was the beginning of March 2006. As of today I am 312. I am happier, healthier and enjoying my new life.

Welcome to band land. I was just banded yesterday and had started my journey in March. AT the time I went to my first appointment I was 352. My hightest weight was 380 I am now down to 315. I am so exited about my new life. I also was self pay. My first goal will be 16 lbs to be under 300. I hope to achieve it by May 31. I wish you the best of luck on your journey. And again welcome to band-land!

I'm glad to hear your banding went well!! I was thinking about you Thursday.

I am going with Dr. Oh in Federal Way. I have my first appointment next Wed and will probably get a surgical date then.

How are you feeling? How was the experience?

Tina

Hi Kacey. I am Thérèse, I live in Queensland, Australia. I am also 44 and also married with no kids (5 cute doggies and 2 sweet little pussycats) I was banded in January 2005. I was 396 when I started this journey, and I am now 251 and I am feeling as if life has really started! I am glad that you are doing so well in your journey and I hope you have many happy healthy years to enjoy your new life!

      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!
