Hello, I'm new to the site, just got banded August 14th, it's been an adevnture and a real learning experience so far, a little tough sometimes, but I'm very excited about my new direction. Wish I had known about this site a couple of weeks ago, there's so much good info here, it would have saved me a bunch of silly worrying and questions. Thanks so much for all the great info, I've learned more in the past 2 days than I had since surgery:p

Welcome to LBT!!! I was lucky, and found the site during my research into getting the band, so had these great people all the way. There are many very smart people here, and they are very willing to share what they know or have learned the hard way!!

There is also a section of LBT that can put you in touch with people in your area. Look through everything, and ask away! This is one of the best things about being banded, is the friends I have made here on LBT. I was looking to lose and control my weight, and I have...but I have also made amazing friends!

Once again....WELCOME!

Me too Kat. If it weren't for this site I really don't think I'd ever went through with the band. But after reading it's so reassuring. Good luck and welcome to lbt.

      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!
