Hi All,

Just introducing myself. I was banded on March 12th. I wrote a thread the other day in another forum to someone who is having gallbladder problems which I have had.

Anyway, lost about 15 lbs so far and starting to feel pretty good. People have noticed the difference in my face. I think I just feel good knowing I've made a big step in making a difference in my life.:clap2:

I lost very fast too.

It sure helps encourage you does't it?

Make sure you get your liquids in.

I loved and still love sf instant carnation breakfasts to drink.

Good luck and welcome.

Your band sister,

Thanks all. I had some gallstones after my surgery so was on IV fluids which helped get me started. I also love the carnation instant Breakfast drinks and even drink them for dinner or have half if I feel hungry. I am a little nervous about the first fill though. Just when you get adjusted its like starting over again.

I was banded on 3/12/07 too. I've lost 12 lbs. Good luck! I'm excited to have the band in. I was a bit sore, but am feeling much better now. How about you?

I was banded on March 20 and I had to e-mail my nurse because if I had to drink another powdered anything, I was going to be sick. I would gag just taking a sip of a Protein Shake and I liked them at first. She talked to the pa and as of yesterday I can start adding creamy Soups. So far as of today I am down 24 lbs!!!!

Yippeee!! I just weighed myself and I've lost another pound. I had lost 7 lbs before the surgery and now I've lost 13, that's a total of 20 lbs!!!! I can't even tell you how excited I am. :)

      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!
