WELCOME.

You're starting a wonderful journey - and remember... we sometimes have smooth bumps and bruises along our Lap Band journeys. But every one that you see on this forum (all those who are post-op) have survived it.

It's OK to be wary, but there is no reason to be frightened... because even those of us who had a little or a big issue - lived to tell about it.

Unfortunately, that's not always true of all Weight Loss Surgeries, but it's very true about LapBanding.

So - you have chosen a wonderful tool that is respected worldwide for it's ability to deliver us from obesity to normal-weight.

And it does it without having to re-section or re-route our intestines.

So good luck and enjoy your journey.

You'll do fine!

Hey banster boy it is good to see you. I am sorry to hear about the infection but we will have to just pray on that and watch it heal.

Well, where are the numbers, how much have you lost?

      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.

        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!
