Just checking in after a year and one month from my Lap-band surgury



Recommended Posts

:whoo:Hello to ALL

Just wanted to check in after have my lapband for 13 month. I have lost 110 lbs and with little complication. I say that if I have a problem that is is self inflicted. I am down 5 pants sizes and feeling Great. I am off 3 of my meds and my blood pressure is down to 113/76 which has not been that way sence I was 10 I think. Other then that everything is going great and I had to do it again I would do it ASAP. I was just at the doctor last week and they stated that I was at the right spot in my wieght loss program and that I have lost 40 % of my excess wieght. Remember that with a lap-band you should lose 70 to 85% of your wieght in two years so I guess I am right on track.

I hope everyone else is lossing and not having any coplications.

Good luck to all:clap2::clap2::clap2:

      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!
