For Anyone Wondering If The Lap Band Is Worth It.......



Recommended Posts

Last night we went to a local sports bar to watch my team play. (Congrats Seminoles!!! ). We live in a small suburb of the Tampa Bay Area so we often run into people we know. Turns out my 2 adult daughters were at the same place to watch the game. They were standing outside talking to some guys about their ages.... 29 and 32. I didn't know these guys and when introduced they all were like... No way that's not your Mom.... Well I am not disillusioned enough to know I don't look 30 but the compliment was nice.... I asked them why they didn't think I was the Mom and they said... No disrespect but you look too hot!!!

believe me when I tell you my friends... That was worth every single minute of my 22 month losing journey!!! Anyone sitting on the fence.... Commit your life to the band and you will reap the rewards twofold!

      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!
