Congratulation on the new car. Can't help noticing the car is not lopsided like mine. 102.6 lost is quite a feat and I hope to be there someday. Doddie

Argon: Yours arms look wonderful. There is always someone worse off. Me! My arms are so large, I can't get into a 30/32 and they they are gross when I relax them. I am hoping when I have the weight off, the first thing I do will be to get my arms fixed. Doddie.

Thanks Doddie. Not wonderful enough, I'm afraid. For someone who's never worn a sleeveless anything in public, it kills me to not be able to in the near future.

Anyways... I think I will call tomorrow my 1 yr anniversary (52 weeks plus a day). I didn't like todays scale read-out. (since it was same as it was Feb. 14 (d-day)) Tomorrow's the day, I can feel it, I'm in for one of my freak-ish 3 pound drops into the 170's!! WOO!

It's Dan and my 4 yr anniversary today. Awwww.... yeah, yeah, I know... lame. We went out for lunch since we both planned to hit the gym after work. Good lunch... I had quiche.

Went to the gym. I would have skipped it, but I wanted to be officially weighed on their scale, and have my measurements and body fat taken, according to their crazy system. Last time I did it there was Oct 27/06.

Here we go:

Oct - 210lbs NOW - 184.5

body fat - 34.1 ------- 27.8

Chest - 47" -------------41

Waist - 41.25"----------34.5

Belly - 48.25" ----------43

Hips - 42" --------------39

Thigh - 23" -------------22.5

Arm - 14.25" -----------13

SOoooo... pretty good. They measure all weird... places I don't... so, I don't really count their measurements... I do my own! Still cool.

Hi: I take any measurements that are good including weight. My doc and TLBC scales and my own. I take my doc's because he has agreed to help me with the weight and band. I go Apr. 2 to weigh in and other things like meds etc. Unfortuantely, my scales can't be read because my belly gets in the way and besides, they would be different to my docs. Anyway congratulations keep it up you are an inspiration. doddie

Hi Argon

I was reading a few pages back and I read where you had to be defilled. Is that the first time that happened since the time you have been banded? Have things been pretty smooth from the get go? I am a little freaked out about this. I am not banded yet but I thought most problems would happen near the beginning when we need to learn how to chew and eat small amounts.

      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!
