Hi! I'm trying to meet local people who have been banded or plan on being banded. I've finished all of my testing and now I'm waiting for insurance approval.:) I'm hoping to hear something within the next couple of weeks.

Hi!! I live in Statesville, not too far from you. I was banded on 3/27/08, by Dr. Bauman in Concord. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask... Good Luck on your WLS

Hey! I'm doing great. I haven't had any complications at all since the surgery. And my first fill went really well. He put in 4 cc's and I could tell a HUGE difference after that. I was scared at first that I was too tight, but I'm okay.

I didn't lose anything this week, but I think it's the bites and nibbles (Christmas snacks) that have caught up with me.

I feel great, though!

Thanks!:biggrin:

      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.

        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!
