Starting fresh after 3 years of being on my own.



Recommended Posts

Hello as you see my name is Angela Howell. I'm from Norwich, CT. I've been on my own for 3 years now. NO DOCTOR, NO DIET no nothing. I've been doing so bad and put on about 30 of the 70 lbs I lost when I had the band put on. I need support and I need a support group. I can't find anything close to me at all. I really need a new doctor closer then NY City. It takes me 3 hours to get to him to do adjustments if anyone knows of anyone closer then that please let me know.

Your band is always ready when you are. You can do this, even after an extended hiatus.

Have you been in for a fill as of yet? What is your restriction level like? Are you tracking your food?

I am also from Ct. I had my band done on June 26th by Dr. Kurt Roberts at Yale New Haven Hospital. He is part of the bariatric surgical group at Temple Medical. I have been very happy with him and his nurse/nutrtionist is wonderful too.

      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!
