Welcome! I've only recently joined myself. I haven't been banded yet; surgery is due in February! Everyone seems really friendly here so I expect to be hanging around here a lot!

I have my consultaion on January 15, then will be banded about 3 weeks later. This should be at the begining of February. I have been reading all the messages and it does sound a little complicated but I am determined to do this. No stopping me now ....50, 5'6" and weigh 290...ugh

I also weigh around 290 but I'm 5'10''. It's still horrendous though. Like you I am determined to do this; I just want to get healthy and be able to go out and have fun with my family. I'm really fed up of being a spectator in my life!

I want my life back. For years I did not have a weight problem. Therefore I know both sides of the scales. Obese and looking great. Sometimes I wonder how I got here. but thats Water under the bridge. I could blame it on the good Cajun food I am raised on but that is not fare to myelf. It was just me...eating and enjoying life. Not paying attention to what I was doing. Now I have to apy the piper.

Welcome to LBT! My life is not the same since losing weight - not one little bit! If you can make some real lifestyle changes, the band can be an amazing tool!

      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'. ???

      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!
