Anyone in NW Montana with Lap-band??



Recommended Posts

Hey Sharon--I am not in Montana, but my husband grew up in Martin City--just down the road from Glacier Park, and my inlaws still live there. I love Montana! We go up there every summer on vacation. Where exactly are you?

Hi Connie,

I live outside of Kalispell. It's about 13 miles from Martin City. It really is beautiful here but I grew up next to the ocean and miss it terribly. I've lived here about 19 years now. It's growing like crazy. Real estate has gone through the roof. Houses have more than doubled in my time here.

I know what you mean about the growth there--we got married in Glacier Park in 1995, and have been back almost every summer since, and every year it amazes me how much its grown. We are headed that way again this July. I just love being there--it is so relaxing and peaceful for me. Colorado is beautiful, too, but it's just different up there.

Darn Sharron, I'm in NE Wyoming. It seems there are very few people in my area that have the lap band, too. I tend to get my support from here and other message boards like this. Hope your spring is warming up!

Sharon,

How are you? I must tell you. I went for my first fill with Dr. Rohrer and he gave me 1cc and after 10 days I felt no restriction. Last time I talked with you , you were contemplating another fill. Did you ever go? I ended up going back and telling him to please make sure I was restricted because I was going on vacation. He gave me 1 1/2 cc. so I have 2 1/2 cc in my band . I feel really restricted and it has helped a lot.

I could barely get Water down in his office but I assured him I would be fine. And sure enough the next day I was.

Let me know how you are doing.

Siena.

I'm glad your doing well. I'm really struggling with eating bad foods. I've gained 4 pounds. I've discovered the bad way to eat around the band. I need to get back on the wagon. Take care. Sharon

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
