Hello all! It's been a while since I've been on this site and even longer since I've posted pics. So, I thought I'd check in and post a new pic. I had my surgery in April 2008 and the "before" pic was the day I started the pre-op diet. The new pic was two days ago. I've lost about 100 pounds. I really want to lose about 12 more pounds, but they are extremely stubborn. :) I'm a little below the weight my doc thought I'd be able to reach so I'm a happy girl. I love my life. I'm 4 weeks from graduating nursing school, I run at least 25 miles/week, and can shop anywhere I want. It doesn't get any better than this! Good luck to all who are just starting their journey, it's all worth it! And I hope all my bandster friends are doing well! Have a blessed day!

It’s been a while so here is a little update. The first picture is about 6-8 months pre-band (about 285lbs). The second was a few weeks ago on a cruise ship. The third was just a few days ago in my new Triathlon wetsuit. I made it to goal in about 10 months and have been focusing more on fitness than weight since then.

      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!
