Hello from Sunny California!!

Hi my name is Irene. I currently have a Lap Band, but have found the Sleeve very interesting. I was at LapBandTalk since Sept of 2007 and got my band in that time. I don't think my band has turned out to be what I'd hoped, but only a few months of being banded in Feb. of 2008.

I have been in that time looking into this procedure. I haven't made any conclusions yet on what I want to do, but first I need to get my head on straight. I need to learn how to eat properly again and get back on track.

Just thought I'd give a hollar and say THANK YOU for creating this great website geared specifically for the Sleeve!

Welcome! Your lap band might be just the thing, but if you end up revising to a VSG, I don't think you will be sorry. I'm almost three years out, and love mine!

Elisabeth - you send your rain to Las Vegas and I'll send you some of our sun. I can't even remember the last time it rained here ... and we're already over 100 in temp and summer only officially started on Saturday.

Welcome! We have a pretty great forum if I do say so myself!

I think you'll find quite a few band to sleeve folks here, me for one.

What exactly is going on with your band now? Are you having problems? Or is it head stuff? Do you have good restriction?

Maybe we can help.

Sounds good to me - we need the rain. Only problem is that when it rains, it's like the first snow storm and the idiots don't know how to drive... since it rains so seldom, the oil builds up on the road and when it does rain early on it's like driving on black ice.

      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!
