Band date in 8 days



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone

I am knew to this site. I will be having lapband done October 25/07. Has anyone here had theirs done by Dr Yau at the Prince Arthur Medical Centre in Toronto?

I am very excited to have this done. I am wanting to lose 84 lbs. How soon after surgery did you notice the wait coming off ? How much did you lose in the first couple of months? I have heard the heavier you are the more you lose. Is there anyone who wants to lose the same as me? My BMI is 33.

I have found this site to be very very helpful. Thank-you everyone for posting your before and after emotional and physical feelings. I am a pretty good healer and really want to get this weight off that I have hung onto for so many years.

Keep up the great work everyone. I can't wait to watch my ticker move.

18 Again soon:clap2:

Hey, so exciting. :rolleyes:

This site is a great resource and hope you find everything you are looking for. Like me, you were a lower bmi starting out. My weightloss has been slow, didn't start until 10 weeks after surgery (with a fill and restriction).

I have lost about 15 pounds and all this after my 2nd fill. I have about 30 to go.

Good luck!

Thanks Grace

I had my surgery and I am feeling great. I have lost 9 lbs since I started my pre-op diet. I seem to be losing 1lb a day since I was banded but I am afraid if I don't walk lots during the honeymoon period I may not lose anything. Old failures staying on my mind I guess.

Grace do you know how I go about getting my Dr's information and band date underneath or above my ticket? I can't get it to work.

Good Luck in your Journey

Please keep posting

18 Again

      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.

        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!
