WoooHoooooo! Yesterday I went to the Dr for my second fill...and he congratulated me on losing 49% of my excess body weight in 3 months. I know I keep saying this, but I swear I am going to get back into the gym. He said walking was an ok exercise but it is time to step it up a notch and work out like I used to (Circuit Training). He felt that I would have lost an even higher percentage if I had just applied myself.

Anyway, thought I would get on here and give you guys an update. So, how is everyone else doing?!

Go Stephanee! My band twin!

I went to the doc last week too and he told me I compared to his Gastric Bypass patients with the weight loss. The average for them at 3 mos was 50 lbs and is where I was, so I was happy.

I'm going for my 2nd fill 3/17 and I won't need much, I still have restriction, just not as much as I would like.

I'm so glad you doing great, you are over 1/2 way to goal!

Aw good for you. Sounds as though you are feeling really positive about your weight loss.

I have now lost 65% of my excess weight. I am extatic, as I am about to beat those statistics that say band patients lose 60% on average of their excess weight. I am determined to lose 100%.

I have joined a gym and hired a personal trainer and I see a difference.

WHOO HOO to us!

Keep going Stephanie.

      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.

        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.

      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!
