Hi, you've the surgery done right? Are you willing to mentor someone? I am getting my surgery done on the fourth of June and I would love it if I could have someone help me with my weight loss process?

With you finding your someone who loves you regardless of your size is a wonderful thing. My bf is a skinny dude and I'm a big girl but he still loves me for me, he said I'm perfect at the size I am but yeah that's good to know that he thinks that but I want to be perfect at a smaller healthy size:

Hi Lauren, I live in Oceanside. My surgeon was dr. Garber. Its going well so far. I just have pain in my belly near the incision. It's just hard to go from siting to standing and laying to standing. I am feeling like I am getting back to normal which is good. Hopefully I'll be great in a couple days. How are u doing?

Hi I'm new to the forum but not to the band :) I'm from port Jeff station, 31, and was banded by Dr. Gabriel back in July 2010. I have recently just switched to Dr. Aurora Pryor though (who i love) for my band care. I've been very happy with my band so far, down 90lbs, 30lbs away from goal. I'm actually interested now in cosmetic surgery and wondering if anyone local here has had any and if so what has your experience been? Who was your doctor? Etc. I'm really excited to meet people local to me that can relate to what I'm going through with the band :))

      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!
