Hello everyone! Been gone for awhile. Had a real bad episode of being too tight, and the doctor practically took out almost all of the liquid I had in my band. Since then, I can't stop eating large portions no matter how hard I've tried. As a result, I've gained back between 5-7 pounds. I tried making an appointment for a fill for December 9th, but they couldn't schedule me in. So, I've waited patiently for a month, but it's been really bad. With the holidays and all, I've made some really bad food choices (cake, chips, and candy). Now, I am determined to start all over again! I am scheduled for a fill on January 6th. I am going to the gym every day if I have to, and I'm going to gain the support of my family and coworkers to keep away from tempting foods. I am so glad for this forum and the people in it. You all make our goals possible, and our struggles with weight loss bareable. Thank you ALL, and I wish you the best this New Year! May we all reach our goals, and fulfill our dreams of living a successful and healthy life. I am so ready for January's challenge. Meet you on the skinny side. Hugs and kisses to all.

Hi Heccat, glad you're back! I have had to get some things out of the house to reduce temptation while I'm still in the process of first fills to get to green zone. Look forward to having the appetite monster off my back! So glad you have your appointment. Mine is next Monday so this week my focus is exercise and Protein, Ra Ra Ra! And loving/forgiving myself, not depriving but making good choices. Here's to the new year.

      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?

        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.
