It's getting closer! The Texas Bandster Bash and Wellness Conference is almost here and we're really excited!

We have speakers on things like “LapBand™ Adjustments: Tighter is Not Better, So What is Tight Enough? “, possible complications, dressing for our changing bodies, the importance of aftercare, What is Lymphedema?, how to determine what your metabolism rate truly is, and many many more.

There will be 2 different plastic surgeons, 2 therapists, an internist, a registered diabetes educator, 2 nutritionists and lots of others there speaking and ready to answer our questions....and as we all know, bandsters have lots of questions!

We've scheduled a live band on Friday night to help us shake our bandster butts and Saturday night we've left free of plans so you can play with the new friends you've made! And we've planned a menu of

delicious bandster friendly foods for Friday night, Saturday's Luncheon and Sunday morning. You don't want to miss the fun!!

The schedule is up on the website (www.texasbandsterbash.com) and should be pretty close to reality. We may have to make a few small adjustments to accommodate last minute changes.

If you haven't made your hotel reservations and registered, please take a moment and do it today. We're looking forward to seeing you there! (And don’t forget to bring clothes for the clothing swap! And plenty of room to bring some new stuff home with you.)

      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.

      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!
