Hello,

This is initial visit and first time posting with this site. Nevertheless, I look so very forward to the additional support that I can give and recieve. My name is Janice and I was banded on 03/02/07 in Virginia. I have lost 22 pounds thus far :cry and I am so fustrated about that. I am so badly wanting to buy something in a smaller size. I guess I want "overnight gratification" but then I don't want it that quickly--- can't shop that fast. I continue to work out 3-4 times per week and finally actually enjoy it and is eating the best I know how. I appreciate all the support and encouragement that each of you have to offer.

Janice

Hello and welcome. Hey, 20 some pounds is good loss. My surgeon's partner think's I'm crazy because I had him do a partial unfill recently, but I honestly don't think that overnight weightloss or really rapid weightloss is that great. And I had that at the beginning. It freaked me out! And it was hard on my body, I lost my gall bladder from it. Now I'm losing the weight at a slower place and I feel much healthier, I have more energy, and I'm excited because I'm going to exercise soon and so forth. Hang it there! I know what you mean about wanting to buy smaller sizes. I was eyeing this sun dress in size 16-18 and I am just now starting to wear size 18s again I thought about it, but I decided not to. I figured I would wear it for a while and then I would feel sad when it got too big. And if I buy a size 16 or 14 now then I would just feel frustrated with myself for not fitting into it. Welcome to the site, I hope you find it helpful.

      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.

      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!
