Hi, my name is Barbara. I'm 48 years old and I am going through the program for Lap-band. Since I've just started the program, I think my surgery will be in December 2007 or January 2008 as my insurance carrier requires a 6 month program. I look forward to reading all of your post as I believe I will find lots of help here with questions and concerns.

I had to have a 6 month program before my surgery. Do what they say and try hard. I wish I would have been more compliant then. I took the time before surgery to BINGE! I am now restarting, but thank God for fresh starts! Good luck to ya!

Hi Barbara --- welcome --- I am from MA, too. I have started my program, too. Surgery will probably be in Oct 2007 -- I will be having my surgery at Emerson Hospital -- Where are you having your surgery?

Blessing to you,

Anni

Welcome to LBT! Good luck with your journey!

Hi Iluvharleys, and thanks for the welcome. I have to ask if you ride your own Harley? I ride my own, but I have a Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe. Big bike, but I'm a big girl!

      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.
