Hi everybody...........

Tomorrow it will be a week that I got banded. It took months to make the decision.........

I used Dr Collier in Conroe Texas - everything went smooth, except the bloating feeling was a killer. It is finally starting to subside - that was pretty uncomfortable.

I do have to say I can't wait to chew something.........I'm not hungry of course, but miss that chewing factor. Does that every go away?

Looking forward to getting to know ya'all better.......

Glad you're here!

I am right there with you Mary. I am a week and a half out and can't wait to chew something. I have heard of a few people that chew something and then spit it out, but I am afraid that I will swallow it by instinct. I will just wait my turn. It is coming soon enough. Ok I don't really think that, but I can wait. lol

Hang in there. It will be here before we know it.

Congratulations on you banding! Yes, that bloated feeling was miserable.... I unfortunately also looked 6 months pregnant with it, lol!!! You will be back to 100% and eating solids before you know it, hang in there.

Tomorrow is one week out for me too! Halloween Banding. I agree on the bloating - no fun! It was hard watching the football game on Sunday at a sports bar drinking iced tea and "eating" the liquid portion only of my Soup, with all of the appetizers floating around! It will be worth it though. I am amazed at how relatively easy the recovery has been. I am starting to tell a few more people too. Thanks for your post and good luck to you!! We'll be so ready for the soft foods together.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
