I just wanted to drop a note of thanks. I had been working on getting approved for my band for over a year. I virtually gave up. I was given the green light right around Thanksgiving and was banded last week(12/21).

I did not know this site existed until a week or so before my surgery. I have scan this site from top to bottom. What a great too we have with lapbandtalk.com.

But to all the Dec 07 banders.....

I have read through your experiences and prepared mysef through them. I know we are all different and our bodies respond differently, but you ahve all helped me more than you know. Just by posting threads for me to read through.

Thanks again and I can'twaint to Dec 08 when we can all really claim our title of Merry Lousers!

Ron,

We are all here to gain strength from one another. I'm sure that your posts will inspire others who are new to the site and thinking of being banded. Make sure you keep us up to date with your progress.

      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!
