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!

      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!
