I'm still pluggin away. I get a fill, lose 10 lbs and then stop dead. Time for another fill but since I had surgery in Mexico it's a bit of a hassle. Working on not being too hard on myself. Good to hear from you.

Hugs,

j

So good to see people still posting in the forum :) I made it to my initial goal weight of 160 and am currently jumping around 155ish. I'm still trying to decide if I want to change my goal to 145 but am satisfied where I am if this is where I am to stay.

The lapband was really the start of a lot of positive change in my life and I am so happy with the changes that have come my way. Some days it is still shocking to look in the mirror and see this new me staring back, but I have embraced the adventure and am happy with it all.

I kind of dropped off the forums for awhile as I gained a social life and got nearer to goal as all I kept reading was negativity. I am back on here often reading a lot of posts but not posting nearly as often as I once did.

I had my 3rd fill this week. I've lost a total of 38 lbs with 10 of it being before surgery. I was getting a little discouraged because I was only losing about 10 lbs each time I had a fill and then would hold my weight until the next fill. I had my surgery and fills in Mexico so getting a fill was a bit of a hassle. Long story short here: I found someone local and am back on the track. Hopefully I'll start losing again as I only have about 25 more to get to my goal. It's certainly been a process and I haven't lost it as fast as I thought I would but hey, sometimes you get what you need in life, not what you want.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Be well, be happy,

j~

      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.

      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.
