Hi---I just joined



Recommended Posts

nice website !!

Hey all, I want to introduce me---TERI

Queens NY

I was banded 2 years ago

as part of FDA trials

Very very happy to be banded

Lost 1/2 excess weight which is considered by Bio-E to be successful

I KNOW I never would have lost this weight with out my band.

I was diet weary and sick of the repeated ---Diet / lose it /gain it back/ dieting revolving door.

I also KNOW I never would have kept it off so easily

I do have another 75 to lose

but know it is all excersice now as I have quite a full

fill (at 3.6cc) and have leveled off at about 1100-1300 cal a day

So I know I am not eating any more than when I was losing.

I had a back injury which slowed things down a lot but am starting phys therapy in Sept

so I'll be working on the next 20 to lose by Christmas

does not sound too bad, ey?

Anyway good luck to all,

Smiles

TERI

Hi Teri, welcome! How interesting that you had yours done during the FDA trials. Who was your doctor? Are you still being monitored for long-term results?

my doctor iswas Dan Herron at MT SINAI

they had no support group so I wound up with the group from lenox hill with drs. kurian and roslyn

it is nice as the dr actually come to the meetings

i would still go probably every other month but my work schedule prevents it

DR HERRON has since moved to long island but i have not seen him in awhile peobably six to

8 Months

we (HUSBAND is banded also ---"husbanded..".

LOL WERE

offered to participate in a long term esophagael monitoring study at mt sinai but i am still thinking about it

there might be many scope tests i could not deal with i'

smiles

      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?
