car.gifWell, I had my Lap Band Dr visit yesterday, and thanks to all of you I was very well informed about the pro's and con's, and how life will be as a bandster. clap2.gif I am greatful to all who answered my call for help when my Daughter was trying to talk me out of it. We have agreed to disagree, and all is well. I did purchase the book Lap Band For Life, and it was very informative. My DH came to the 4 hr Dr visit yesterday, and is supporting me 100%. I am going to Dr Noel Williams at the University of Penn. I have my cardiology appt today, and my sleep study and PFT next week. I am hoping I will have jumped trough all the mandatory hoops by the end of Oct, and get scheduled for surgery before the holidays. I am very determined to start this new way of life. I was wondering how you all put the design at the bottom of your page that shows your WL progress, I couldn't get my picture on either. I want to start my journey with your support, and would like to have all those things under my signature, it is so inspiring to see the wt loss. Thanks again!! God Bless, Jeanne

      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!
