I missed this place!



Recommended Posts

I’ve been wandering around the wilderness of candy and DQ Blizzards…

</O:p

Then in Sept, I realized I was tired of not having lost any weight since May. I was tired of not being able to do what I said I wanted to. So, I started seeing the psychologist at my WLS clinic, actually my DH and I are going together.

And I got a much-needed fill on 1/2/2007(starting out the new year right!).

<O:p</O:p

<O:p</O:p

I had re-gained 15 pounds while in denial and then starting to work things out. So much better then in the past, where I would re-gain everything I lost plus a few more pounds for reinforcements. I’m down 8 from my fill, and pants that were getting tight are fitting better already. So, my lesson is that the band is my safety net while I work on other things, and is there for me when I’m ready to get going again. Not bad!<O:p</O:p

Thank you so much for posting this, Lisa!

I've been plateauing since August/September. Have only lost about 20# since being banded and can't seem to get my head straight. I'm very glad to hear that a) I'm not alone and b)You can start over!

Good luck!

      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!
