I just found this site too. I am so excited. I was banded Sept. 25. I am down 22 lbs. and have lots of questions too. I am trying to find my way around the site. I have posted a question but have not seen it come up yet so do not know where it went.

I've been banded since 10/23 and have lost 27 pounds ... the weight loss has tailed off and I'm scheduled for my first fill on 11/28. Does it usually go this way? I know in the beginning I was having 3 oz meals, but now I'm eating food again. I'm eating less than in the past, but much more than right after surgery..:) I was 385 and I'm now down to 358 and have 123lbs to go!! I was direted from someone on the OH site and it is my pleasure to meet you!!

      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!
