Hey there everyone.....glad to see some names I recognize from spotlight....This could turn out to be another great source of banding info...hope everyone participates and thanks to alex for putting it together...

Now...I am Melinda, banded 6-20-03. Ive always struggled with weight as have my mother and my sister. JennyB, who some of you know, is my sister and she was banded in November and is now 6 months pregnant. We are so happy for her because she had been trying for a while and was worrying she wouldnt be able to have kids. Thinks the weight loss may have helped. I was on the road to rny, and changed my mind a week before surgery. I love my band and cant wait for another year to go by and see my results. Ive lost 18.5 so far and am scheduled for fill on 30th.

I wish the best to all who are in search of taking control of their bodies, no matter which surgery or other option is choosen.

We can do it....and this is the first time I really have believed that!!

Best of luck to us all...

Melinda

PLEASE READ

Something is wrong with my LBT. I can't get to page 18 of this thread. When I click on page 18 it takes me to a completely different post, which is strange since I can get to page 19. Can anyone get to page 18?

Also, I apologize for changing the rules to "must weigh in on Monday." I didn't think it through when I started the challenge, but like Margo mentioned, it was too hard making heads or tails of all the posts.

If anyone can get to page 18, are there updates that I need to change? I'll have to report the problem to Alex.

      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!
