Recommended Posts

Getting banded this Friday, 9/24th!!! Excited and nervous at the same time!!! But...cannot wait!!!

Hope to join you in Vegas next year at this time!

There are so many things I am looking forward to when I lose my weight....but mainly is being healthy again!!!

My "wish list":

***#1 is to get rid of all or most of my meds!!! I am TOO young!

***to look in a mirror and not be ashamed a the person staring back at me

***to run with my Grandkids (when I have them)

***to be able to take a shower and reach ALL the nooks and crannies! (don't laugh...you know exactly what I mean!)

***to be able to go to see a movie and actually fit in the seat

***to walk into a restaurant and not have to request a table...actually be able to FIT in a booth

***be able to walk from my car to a store and not lose my breath

***to be able to dial UP the heat in the winter

***to shop in a "regular" size clothing store

ONE STEP AT A TIME.....we'll be there in no time!

Not knowing your personal feelings about this, I'll pray for an uneventful surgery, swift recovery and satisfying results, if you approve, of course!

Congrats. I haven't been banded yet, but I'll give this advice:

Celebrate each victory, no matter how trivial! Just don't Celebrate with seconds of anything except Water.

Nancy, good luck on your banding! You better start adding to that list, because you'll be marking all of those things off sooner than you expect. Then you'll need something else to do!:D

Sending you the very best wishes and thoughts and prayers.

I am so happy for you.

Do something special for yourself today to help you relax. How bout a pedicure? That will relax you and pass the time and on top of that your toes will look so cute in the Hospital.

Hugs

Hi, new Michigan bander.

Good luck on your banding I know that you wil find that it is the best thing you may have ever done. I was banded June 29, 2004 and have had two fills now and will have the third one on Oct, 4th. So far I have lost weight and have now believe that I may have reached my sweet spot as I can now tell when I have had enough to eat and no bad experiences.

Good Luck again.

Dave T.

Metamora, Mi.

      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!
