Hey-all-I just found this site yesterday after finding a few on yahoo-didn't really care for the one that has the most action on it, but some info was helpful. My husband was banded on 12/7/04 and I was on 12/28/04, so we are doing this journey together, but he is computer illiterate and isn't much of a talker. This is a private thing for him and the more that knows about me the better my support system I figure. SO far things are going good. Down 15 pounds in 6 weeks and had my first fill on 2/1/05 of 1cc. some things are okay to eat and some I have major restriction. Thats okay though. I am learning what I tolerate and what doesnt. I had a hard time with Vitamins until I seen a comercial for viactive Multi Vitamins. Went right out and got some-oh much better then flintstone chewables. They made me gag!

Welcome to bandland! It sounds like you are doing great. It is so nice that that two of you were banded together. You have your own support in your own home! ;) Don't worry, DH will just learn from you when you talk about the support stuff.

Congrats on the banding! IT's great that you are doing it together! We started at the same weight so We should keep an eye on each others progress. Keep up the good work!

      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!
