Well, not really but, I have 3 kids and I had some excess skin from that (not much, more wrinkly than anything). But, I want to have a couple of more kids and then get a Tummy Tuck. But, the skin on my arms and legs looks really good. Congrats on the surgery-- I have loved it and I have been really aggressive with my fills. I think that is the key!

I'm 8 mo. out, down 99 pounds, and am so grateful for the lapband. I've got another 100 to go but, for the first time in my life, I feel that I can do it!! I thought my life was over but now I'm off most of my meds, no longer shopping for a wheelchair (size XWide), and have my life back!!

      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!
