You're site looks good - very informative and welcoming. You are wonderful to offer your advice/suggestions to everyone at LBT - I would definitely come to you should I relocate closer to your office!

I find myself having a question - if you see this and have any suggestions I am open to them...

My weight loss is minimal and I've tried calorie levels of between 600-1500 and I just can't seem to lose weight. I DO follow the bandster rules and eat about 1/2 of what I formerly did. I had my thyroid tested and it was right in the middle - reported normal.

I've resigned myself to staying the same but wonder if there is something else I should try. My latest unfill has allowed me to eat more solids and three squares a day - less pbing but my weight still doesn't budge.

I was prescribed raductil but have taken it infrequently although when I do take it - I have very little appetite. I am 48 and on BCP. Thanks, Mary

      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!
