Here's a before and DURING photo for you all.... not 'cause I'm fishing for compliments, but to provide inspiration for those considering the band. This thread was instrumental in helping me make my decision, for sure!!! Thanks to all of you at LBT (and especially the Violets) for your constant support and inspiration!

My husband and I are banded and are still both works in progress. Steve was banded March 2005 and I had surgery Sept 2006. Steve's BMI started at 40.1 and is down to 30.2. I started at about 205 and am down to 145ish....and finally a size 8!! But the best thing is we're off the couch and back into life....the last pic is a mountain bike race from October 2007. We finished 3rd in the Master's Group...(that's the over 40 old farts) ;-)

I am so excited..Just had my extended Tummy Tuck, butt lift, breast lift and off course augmentation...and here is part of my result. I decided to have the PS done here in Tijuana MX and can I just say I couldn't be happier with my choice...Dr. Luis Suarez and his staff were awesome...I have to write my whole experience down for you....They have been great and the pain has been little to none...The cost is what got me hear in the US I was looking at paying over 30K here I only paid $9,950.....

Dr Suarez site is Plastic Surgery Tijuana, Mexico, Plastic Surgeon Tijuana

Even though the scale has been stuck for 2 months.. my sizes are going down... I am wearing 12's in jeans/cords (albeit stretchy) and two days ago I was able to button and zip my first pair of size 10's!

The pics below are 1 April 1st at 272lbs (funny how we don't realize how sad we look in our B4's) the NOW are size 12 Levis and a size Large shirt.

      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!
