Finally it's right around the corner, Lee. Yahoo for you!! Keep us posted on what's happening. I'm stalled on my weight loss but I need to get my butt excercising. So it's my own fault. Talk 2 u later, Kelley

It's now April 7th--6:05 PM and I am post Lap band as of March 28th. I am finding out the hard way to on schedule. But I am doing ok. My port site is the only place that seems to hurt more than the rest. Yes at about 10:30 am--March 28th--I went in for the banding.

There is a funny feeling to eating now. You all were correct--my tastes have changed. I can now have lunch for $1.19 at wendy's. Their chili is pretty good--lots of juice and nice soft Beans. Fits perfect with my mush diet. I tried to cheat and brought into my wanting a piece of ham---trust me--I was a comode God within 5 minutes of eating it. Just a small amout--maybe 2 ozs... That's happened 2 times in 8 days. Trust me--I am not up to that anymore.

I started my walking 4 days ago....Funny I did good for the first three days. My 4th day felt like I was out of gas. So I just used light exercises on the leg machine--since i did drive to the gym. Back on track as of Monday again.

My next appointment for a fill---April 18th...My has time been flying by. Do I feel hungry? Yes---just a little. No more binge hunger---"Thank the Lord.... Last thing--the legs puffiness has gone away....

Hi Girlinnycn - I am going through the process of being banded and am using Dr. Ren (who is Dr. Fielding's partner and wife). I would love to hear about your experience with them. Good luck.

      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!
