I have 8, 2 big and 6 small. I would have had 7 but the first one was an 'Oops, that was a little too high.' At least it was a small one.

I only have three. Two small ones and one that is an inch and a half long. I am pretty sure my two small ones will not leave a permanent scar, if they do it will be hardly visable. They will blend in with the freckles I have in that area.

I only had 3 - one in the belly button, one to the left where the port is and one above. :) Banded this past Monday the 21st of June and have lost 7lbs 4oz already. I love this band.

Single incision, through my navel. I can only see it if I stretch out my navel, otherwise you can't tell at all. :(

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
