I think the % is higher initially depending on what you have to loose. As ours is higher than Lapbanders. But a lot of it falls back on the persons willingness to stick to plan too...

I went in today for my month check up actually it is 5 weeks and he called me his special patient. .. because of my pain tolerance. .. he assured me my surgery was flawless...and it is just a super tight stitch. He said he is glad he did not do a bypass on me (I was thinking in my head ..dude that was never an option) he also said I was doing better than his bypass patients regarding weight loss. I am down about 20 pounds since surgery date and 31 since I started this entire process. I am not sure if I am on schedule. Am I really gonna lose 20 a month? I am finally almost at 3 bottled waters. I am working hard on the Protein. . Eating tuna yogurt eggs and drinking slim fast high protein. I have had a couple Smart Ones.. I can only get about half of it down. Oh I am trying to eat a Protein Bar now... (not feeling it) I do find that i am getting hungry every 2/3 hours and that kinda freaks me out.I am feeling better. .everyday... I finally went on a walk a few blocks and back.. and I feel good ..tired but good. Sorry I am rambling.

I'm glad to hear all is well. I don't know what your weight loss total will be. I lost 20 that first month too then 20 more basically over the next four months lol.. 15 more to go to goal! It's slow but ill take it. I also feel way stronger as I've been working out a lot the last two months. So although the scale is slow my body had changed so much... It's great;)

      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.

        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!
