Hey everyone! I am so glad I found this website. I had my surgery in June of 06. I have lost 143 pounds so far. I have 31 more to go to reach my doctor's goal but 41 more pounds to go for my personal goal. I have not been able to attend the local support meetings. I have 2 teenage children who keep me hopping & I look after my mother who is in poor health. It is so good to know that some of the problems I am having are common. I do not know anyone here that has had lapband surgery to talk to. I look forward to talking to you. Please e-mail me sometimes. My e-mail is jennapurr03@aol.com.

Hi Jen Welcome Congrats on 143 lbs gone - That's GREAT

We have month specific groups - so go look for June 2006 monthly group - then we have groups by age - and group by how much you have to lose and near to at goal.

I post in July 2007 Lucky Seven & the 50 plus thread - Just look around and post and someone will ususally reply...

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
