Recommended Posts

HI everyone, hope all is well with all of you. I don't get much time to post here lately. It takes me forever now to catch up on threads that I have missed. I just wanted to say hi to everyone, it has been awhile. I am doing fine, I am still losing since my unfill. I am so glad that I did that it was a very rough 7 days to be overfilled.

I just can't get over how much this site has grown. Just goes to show you that there is a lot of people out there searching for help. This is a great place, just wanted you to know that. I wouldn't be where I am today. 67 pounds lighter is only part of it. I have got some great advise from this site. I made my final decision to have the lapband because of this site. It is a great place and I am glad that everyone can share their experiences here and we can all come and learn from each other.

Hope you all are doing well. Take care and have a wonderfull day!!

Always Kathy

Live every day as if it were your last and then some day you ll be right.

Kathy - I am glad you are still losing after the unfill. It's important for some of us to hear that, sometimes we are so afraid of taking out that little bit for fear of losing our restriction. I hope you can post more often, we miss your smiling face here!

Hi Kathy! Glad to hear you're well and still losing. I recently had an overfill myself and hung onto it for 6 days. It was such a relief to get that unfill!

I also have a tough time keeping up with all the posts I've missed when I don't log in as often as I used to!! And, like you, I also noticed how much the site has grown. More users, more posts...hopefully, more visibility/information/knowledge for and about the lap 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!
