Ok...lap band in.



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone-

Just figured I'd touch base as I haven't for a while. I got banded on the 28th, and I'm healing really quickly and don't have much discomfort at all. The only thing I'm frustrated about is not being able to go right back to my workout routine, which was aggressive.

I figure that by Thursday the 7th, I'll be back on the incumbent bike hitting my cardio at the very least. Probably won't be back into the jujitsu and muay thai for a few months.

Still haven't figured out the ticker thing, I did what everyone told me as far as cutting and pasting it into the area on UserCP, but it still isn't working. Anyway, I'm down 35 pounds since the 18th of January, hopefully under 300 by the end of March (324 now)

I hope all you guys are well... and we should defnitely get together for a lunch again in Braintree. I'd love to see how you all are doing.

John

Hi John, I just wrote another thread to explain why I haven't been on in a long time (problems logging in) so I changed to Nanavivian. I was Nana.

I had read about your surgery. Congratulations on doing so well. Long story short, I am having surgery Tues. March 6th. unexpectedly. I had been reading but I couldn't post. I figured while I could, I would check in. I am nervous and excited.:nervous So glad you had no discomfort. Keep us informed. Nana

John, congratulations! And Nana, good luck! I'm sure everything will be fine. I believe everyone gets a bit nervous, it's normal.

      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!
