:girl_hug: Wanted to introduce myself. My name is Katt and I was "banded" on Friday, October 13, 2006. My surgeon was Dr. Leung/Surrey, BC. I am very excited as I have lost 25lbs. thus far! I am on Clear Liquids, and will be for 30 days (hope I can make it!). I thank God that He gave me this tool to help with my weightloss; I feel the band is going to help me achieve what I was not able to do on my own: eat from the Canada food Guide food groups, exercise and eat "small" meals! Success will be mine! I look forward to chatting with y'all and sharing experiences.

Katt.

Hi everyone - I'm new to the forum, just found it today! I have finished my 6 months of dr. visits and the charts have been sent to the insurance co. for approval so I am just impatiently awaiting to hear from them. I have heard that my insurance usually ok's it. I hope to have it done before the first of the year. Its very encouraging reading everyones progress and looking at the before and after pictures. I'm so glad I found you!

      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!
