I'm not having the band anymore but I found something else



Recommended Posts

It has taken me 2 weeks of proper thought to come to the conclusion that I just don't have enough confidence to go through with the operation.

I cancelled the pre-op today and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from me.

I would like to praise all the ladies/men that have gone through with the operation and have achieved excellent results!

However I have found something else that seems to be working for me. I read Paul McKenna's I can make you thin. It is very helpful because it doesn't tell you what to eat etc... It's all about the brain and your eating. Well I am very happy and I can't wait to weigh myself in 2 weeks time.

Anyway I wish you all the best.

Peace & Love

I wish you all the luck in the world! Thanks for mentioning the book, I have some head work to do around eating, perhaps I'll order it. I take it that it is a UK author?

Lauren, At your young age, I'm glad you are willing to make more attempts at losing the weight without such a drastic step as surgery.

At my age, ( 56) I knew I had made many attempts at weight loss without succeeding, so the band felt like my last/only option.

I hope the message in the book is one that resonates with you and you have great success.

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!
