Hello all, just banded 4/18



Recommended Posts

Hello to all, me and my fiancé just got banded on 4/18. We both have lost around 20 pounds apiece. We are still on Clear Liquids for a few more days and then we can add creamed Soups for another week. We got ours done by Dr Spiegel in Houston. Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Hi There,

I was banded on April 18th too! My fiance had a gastric bypass surgery a couple of years ago. he's lost 150lbs, but has 50lbs. more to go. I figured both of us having tummies the same size would make it easier for us to accomplish our goals. It would be great to keep in touch with you and your honey throughout... I'm interested in hearing the obstacles you face going through it together. And if you find a way that makes it easier, while still maintaining your relationship, let me know! I know my fiance and I did Dr.Bernsteins for 3 months last year and we just about killed eachother (lost 140lbs. between the two of us, though!), so I know the relationship challenges are there on top of the weight loss... it's almost impossible for me to diet without him dieting too! And I want to kill him when I see him cheat, but then we both end up cheating secretly when the other one's not around... oh, so many issues!!! Hope to hear from you once you're in the mode.... happy recovering!

Hi there! I was banded on the same day! I keep wondering how long I can keep doing this, but I keep doing it, so that must be a good thing:)

Good luck to you as we both take this one day at a time, and sometimes, for me at least, it's one meal at a time! :tt2: A

I was banded on the 18th as well, and today is the first day I actually feel great! It has been slow going, all pain meds made me sick so I have been going with just liquid Tylenol. I am only consuming about 4oz of Unjury all day with Water in between, and I feel full all the time. How are you all doing so far? Good Luck to all!

      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?
