I talk to Melissa at least every other day....She is married to Brent and has 2 twin boys.....

It has been an OK journey. My bandiversary is tomorrow and I am going to take some pictures and post before and after pics of me. I may take the pictures tonight. I go in Monday to get a fill to help lose the last 20-40 lbs. Not sure on how much I want to lose, but I know I would like to lose a little more.

Good Luck on your journey...

Well Happy Banderversary!!!!! That is so awesome....How many fills have you had over the course of a year.......I have had one and got really good restriction but I was fighting it because I was hungry (you understand that)hahaha.....Its been close to a month but truely I am still learning my cans and cannots......I was very tickled to find this board because I was feeling like the lone ranger with a rubber band (as my husband friend calls it) around my stomach......Not know if this is okay or if that is okay.....I have had a lot of answers from here in the short time that I found it......

thank Ya'll alot

      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!
