I am trying to figure this whole online chat experience. So please be patient with me. I was trying to change my user name from in his time to dancing as that is more me.

Dancing, sorry, I got a phone call and missed you.

Another thing you can do is go on to the October bandster thread. I'm sure you'll find others there at the same stage as you. Are you getting the "why don't you just eat less" thing from your friends?

Hello all

I have been lurking here for a long time while preparing for my surgery. I wanted to join and post questions, but was almost afraid I would jinx myself. I was banded on the 10th of October by Dr. Kuri in Tijuana, Mexico. So far so good after a long journey home to Hawaii. I was wondering if anyone on this board lives in Hawaii? Also, is anyone on this board affiliated with the US military? I look forward to talking with everyone.

Thanks

Dessia

Dessia, Welcome to lapband from Houston,Texas. No I'm not in the military just wanted to welcome you and wish you the best. The band is a wonderful tool. I don't like much being at my goal and was banded the end of April.Getting my third fill on Monday and have had no problems at all.:D

      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!
