Hi. I was banded on 11/8/07. I'm going to try and read everyone's posts, so I can get a clue as to what everyone is doing and feeling. As for me, I'm 30, in KC, and have a 10cc band, w/only 2.25cc's in it so far. I've not had much luck keeping the fills in. Is anyone burping still -all the time??

What do you have to do to join the Nov Nymphs? Is it an exclusive club? Or do you just have to have been banded in Nov? So curious for support.

Thanks!!

You found the right place, Huskerette! Being banded in Nov. '07 is all you need. You are doing amazing with only 2.25cc in your band! Looks like you are more than halfway to goal. If you have trouble with fills and are losing at a good rate, then maybe you're tight enough. A few people who use my doc never get fills at all. Sometimes the band is tight enough as is. Anyway as I said on the Meltdown thread, welcome and glad you found your peeps! :biggrin2:

Welcome Huskerette. I was banded on 1 November 07 and have lost 35 lbs so far. I have a 10cc band with 9ccs in it. Unfortunately for some reason I still haven't found restriction so I am going for a barium meal / swallow this Thursday to test my band. I don't have any other symptoms so it just might be that I am one of those people who need to go to the full extent. Anyway, you look like you're doing really well. As Cindy said, the November Nymphs are a great bunch of people and very supportive. Look forward to chatting with you.

Hey Huskerette,

We are a very non-exclusive club. Welcome in. I assume you'll be sending the normal initiation fee out to all Nymphs ;o) (kidding).

Put your numbers in our Nymphs Weight Loss to Date thread. YOU will put us over the one ton loss mark!!! Go nymphs!!!

Oh, I have about 3 ccs in a 10 cc band (not sure how much they put in during surgery....)

Hollyberries - what the heck - when did your BMI get below mine?!?!? It's on now!!!!

Hollyberries - don't forget me from Canada! (although I live in the States now)

Huskerette - I read on another post you're full-time student and worker so don't you even try to read all the posts here with all the work you're doing! You take care of yourself and just join right in. I totally agree this is the "best friggin support group in the world!!" (In case you haven't noticed Hollyberries is everyone's all-round cheerleader and supporter!)

Thanks. I don't actually start school until 8/18. But I'm studying ahead of time, cuz I'm not all that smart. Smart enough to get the band though!!!!!

Anywho, I get a fill 7/3 at 10 am. I'm so excited & nervous. Hope u have a great 4th.

Thanks everyone for your support.

      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?
