I have only periodically been reading the boards lately - and was away on vacation for a few weeks, so I missed this post.

You look fantastic! I did just recently respond to another post acknowledging your 100 pound loss. That's quite a great milestone! Congratulations.

In looking back at some of the posts I missed, I also see that you and I continue to share so many similarities. Your posts about a possible slipped band and your doctor's reactions to a slightly enlarged pouch are exactly what happened to me. (After an upper GI and endoscopy, I had an unfill which relieved all my symptoms and just this week I had a new fill to start over). It's also interesting that both my brother and my best friend have birthdays on 11/22!!!! What a coincidence.

Anyway - you look great and are doing great.

Hope that 2005 goes smoothly and successfully for you - and for me.

Mary

Alex!!!!!!!!!! I cried when i saw your photos- they just don't look like the same person! You are a great inspiration to me. I bet your family/friends are over joyed. I am so wanting to be banded I can't stand it. Way to go girl and such a dynamite smile!

Let me just tell ya!! You look amazing !!! I was banded 7-6-04 I feel like the weight is coming off real slow. 44 pounds down as of today. An accomplishment at that, however the scales aren't changing much lately. Do you have any advice. Do I need to start excercising? lol I must admit, I'm always making excuses not to. Anyway, keep up the good work.

      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!
