You have a Band Buddy in NW FL eagerly awaiting your outcome. You will love Band Land just follow the rules and you'll do well. Two hours after surgery they had me walking the halls at the hospital. Next day released from hospital and flew back home across the country. I was very tired, but would gladly to it over again. So worth it. Hugs, Nancy Bender if lovely Panama City Beach

Joyfulnan@comcast.net if you need to speak to me privately.

Take a heating pad, gas x stripes with and adult liquid tylenol.

Looking for a band buddy

I was banded Jan 15, 2008. I have lost 35 pounds so far which feels fantastic. I am trying to be a good bandster but I keep sabotaging my own efforts. I am in control and losing weight then I want to just eat. It's like I don't want to be successful in my subconscious or something. Looking for someone who has struggled and been successful.

I was banded 1-24-08. I just had another fill today b/c I wasn't losing. OK - I'll be honest - I was taking in a lot of "slider foods" that went down too easily. Joining this site is a re-commitment for me. I have to remember that I'm not cheating anyone other than myself.

Hi. Where were you banded? How much have you lost so far? Tell me about yourself. I am a retired teacher. My husband just had lapband too. We are self pay. What about you?

I need a buddy also! I seem to have lost all motivation. I have stopped exercising completely, I bought new clothes that are too small now, and I just eat things that I know I am not suppose to! I worked so hard to loose the first 50 pounds now I don't know what happened. It's like I just don't care anymore.

Somebody give me a swift kick in the butt to help me get back on track! (I think that's what I need)

I feel the same way. I have lost about 50lbs and I look in the mirror and I ask where the difference I dont see any so I have found myself eating a little worse here lately.

We just have to get it in our heads that we want to continue to lose the weight!!

I think it is easy to get back into old habits once the band has been in place for a while. Sometimes I have to go back to one day at a time and start charting again. That seems to help me get back on track.

      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!
