It's going well. I've lost 22 lbs already but i'm still on the liquid post op diet.

The doc tells me I will probably gain some back when I proceed with the soft/full diet.

So far, no troubles. Minimal pain.

I'm new to the club. I also live in Abington. Got my band on May 21st at Norwood Hospital. Except for some initial naseua I'm feeling pretty good now. Gr. Adam Glasgow did the surgery and i was really impressed. His dad removed the staples last week (didn't hurt at all) and he seems like a great guy too. Hope everyone is doing well. :tongue2:

Hello everyone,

I am from Easthampton, Mass. I got banded in October, 2009 and am having a terrible time. I've only lost 28 lbs. I have another fill coming up on 1/31/11, so hopefully that will help.

I am wondering if anyone is interested in getting a group together in the Northampton area? I would love to have a "band buddy" in the area.

Good luck to all....

Renee

      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!
