Calanne I would love to meet with you sometime and pick your band brain since you were banded 20 months ago. Pearland only takes a little bit to get there. My best friend lives there. I go 518 or 45 to Dixie Farm Rd or Beltway to the exit by the golf course. Depends on where I am going. We will have to plan once I get settles and can eat "food". Phyllis

Vinnie,

It does take a few days, I was lucky and went right before my surgery, but then not again for 4 days.

I am now 17 days post op and having to "maintain the bathroom" issues with extra Fiber. I can actually get that pill down. Woo hoo!!!:pray2::rolleyes2:

Hi Tonyac,

I just read your story. Amazing! You said you had surgery in Sugar Land ( I live in SL), could you please give the phone number of your Doctor? I need a fill, maybe he can help me.

Thanks,

Marivi

Hi everyone! I live and Sugar Land and was banded 11/20 by Dr. Spivak. I love my band. I've had absolutely no problems and I've lost 15 pounds since surgery and 5 on pre-op diet.

I am great after the band. I love it. I am losing weight slow but steady. Fighting head hunger can be difficult but not as bad as before the band.

      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!
