Restarting my journey



Recommended Posts

I had my lapband in 2010 and was a huge success. But after two years in I went though a real bad trama I. Which leans me to depression and I started to gain. I have gained 110 lbs and had a revision on my band. I'm exited to restart my journey. I found this site in hopes to find good advise and some type of support and motivation. Thank to all and good luck in your journey as well

Hi Lisacaron

Thanks for the warm welcome! The revision was to replace the band back ninnies position because it was slipping due to me traveling. I was going back in fourth to Puerto Rico deal with family issue and the altitude of the plane would make my band slip.

That is the best part of the lap band because you can always get back on track. We all go through crap and it is easy to gain when you are depressed. After all we for the most part as women are emotional eaters. You will get back where you want to be one day at a time.

      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!
