In one sentence.......

The best thing I have experienced since being banded is....feeling in control, control of my eating, my hunger, my weight, but mostly of my future!

Gotta add---I LOVE IT!!!!

Kat

Ditto for me! Even I have had no fills yet, I still feel the band and it does keep me in check!

Having the confidence to face meeting a man I haven't seen since I was 14, and then falling in love with him, and believing he could fall in love with me.

Not hiding from the camera (especially around the holidays) and loving the way I look in pics..... And knowing its only going to get better.

I am only 4 days post op, but I like that if I have a craving and want something, I have to stop and think about it. I drink Water first. I have heard those two pieces of advice and never listened to them. I also get full on 1 cup of liquid and fell FULL! I am not a slave to my cravings and I feel in control. I love it! Audree

Getting into younger looking clothes and pjs and my husband saying...honey you're looking so sexy. (Are you talking to me? hahaha)

This one is really recent, but I realized today that my 2 day old niece will never know a "big" Auntie Sarah :)

      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!
