Hey t-ray. You've come to the right place. Congratulations on your new band and you'll learn a whole lot here. You'll hear some negative and lots of positive. If you have a question, just ask. There's lots of OLD TIMERS here (not me yet, lol) that will have some good advice for you.

Just friendly advice, but that's a terrible idea. It's crucial that you stick to your doctor's post op diet exactly as directed and not cheat at all. Your stomach has been sutured, manipulated, and wounded. By cheating on your post op diet you're putting yourself at risk for ripping a stitch and other very serious complications.

I know it's hard but you'll survive it and it'll be behind you before you know it.

I was banded on Monday. I'm doing fine on liquids for now, but I can see 3 weeks of them getting a bit boring. I'm just struggling with gas pains now.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
