Hi, All:

I am new to this, so please bear with me. I was just banded by Dr. Rumbaut in Monterrey, Mexico on September 28th. The first week was rough, but now things are much better. I've lost 30 pounds as of today and am feeling good. I know I'm going to have lots of questions, so I hope there will be some experts out there who can answer them for me.

Thanks...

Welcome to lapband. I don't think any of us are experts but will do the very best we can. Looks like you are doing very good there yourself.

I have been banded for six months and am 18 pounds from goal and have had hardly any problems to speak of. This is a great forum and I betcha some of us can almost help you out with what ever comes up.:)

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I was banded in Nov 05. I started at 250 with a goal weight of 160. I had some eating problems that kept me from being successful the first year but those have been resolved and I am starting over. I had an Endo last week to make sure all was well. My dr took all of the saline out of my band and we're starting from scratch. I had lost a total of 20 pounds but I have regained 14 pounds back so I'm starting at 244 this time. I have faith that I will do much better in the next year. This forum seems to have a lot of information that will be helpful to me so I will check in regularly.

Best of luck to all !

      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.

      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!
