Google. I think it would be a good idea to have pamphlets about LBT located at weight loss centers (for example True Results). I've learned more on LBT than I did at TR.

I agree with this......I tell people I meet in the drs office about it...and have printed out fliers and brought them to my monthly support groups....This site has been a life saver.....Oh my how would I ever had made it through my first PBs.....lol

I Googled Lap Band Discussion Forums and this one popped up among a few others. I sifted through a handful, this one suited me best so I lurked a bit, then registered. :)

I also used google to find blogs and forums of people talking about their experiences. I have been wanted to do this surgey for myself for 2 years but without insurance it has not happened yet. I hope these chats and blogs with guide me in the right direction and give me the support and answers I need.

I went to several seminars before I was convinced it was right for me. It took me 3 years to start the lapband journey.

      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!
