Hi, I had my appointment today, and he said I was doing great and didn't need a fill yet. I'm ok with that. I am not starving all the time. I am losing about 3-4 pounds a week, so I'll wait. Let me know how your appt goes.

Hey,

I went Tuesday and got my first fill. I had been hungry for about a week, and my weight loss has slowed down. It really wasn't bad, and I can definitely tell the difference since the fill. I hope this will get me going again. Let me know how you are doing. .

Hey, it's good to hear from you. I also have had a fill and I probably need another, I have been hungrey also. My oldest brother past away on July 20th. He was 49 yrs old and had a heart attack. It has really been bad I am having a hard time dealing with his death. Please remember My family in your prayers. I know I have been eating extra but I guess it is my nerves. Keep in touch. I THINK YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB. Maybe I will get back on track soon.

I'm thinking about having lap band surgery in Birmigham. I'm looking for a Dr. that accepts AT&T United Health Care. Anyone know of a Doctor that takes this insurance?

      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.

      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!
