Need a Lapband Buddy in Hickory!



Recommended Posts

Hey I am 21 going through the approval process for my lap band surgery and I need an extended support group. I've chosen to only tell some close friends about my decision because my family are blabber mouths and even though I'm not ashamed or embarrassed that I'm wanting this surgery I don't want everyone in the south to know also. Any encouragement,advice, wisdom.... whatever you have will be greatly appreciated!

YAY!! Im in Charlotte NC. You are the closet bandster (or soon to be bandster) I've met on here. NC represent :) I am 23 and just got the band approx 3 weeks ago. I have already experienced the good bad and ugly. But I am keeping my head held high! If you need a bandster buddy I would be happy to oblige. I'll be in Morganton in a few weeks camping, just a hop skip and jump from you.

So far I have only have lost about 50 lbs. I have found ways to "cheat" the band and consequently my weight has crept back up. Stick with the nutritionist advice!!

      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!
