Hello. I'm just starting out on this LapBand venture...



Recommended Posts

Hello everybody.

I'm just starting out on this LapBand venture and am hoping for some help in where to get started. I'm also not familiar with forums, so please tell me if I should post something to the wrong area.

Since this looks to be the introductions area, I'll start posting my questions next time I'm on...as soon as I figure out where to post them.

In the meantime, hello. I've been reading through some posts and everybody just seems so nice and helpful, I just had to sign up and be a part of it.

A brief bit about myself: I have at least 80 - 90 lbs to lose (I haven't weighed myself lately...the scale and I just don't see eye-to-eye sometimes). I am a computer support analyst (I know, right? I can fix a computer, but I can't forum? Weird, huh?). I'm married and have two boys...the baby is a Senior in high school (finally!) this year and stands at 6'1". I live on the West side (far North Rio Rancho). My husband likes to say we live just South of Santa Fe. We have two cats: Emma and TJ (funny, but their both overweight too. Emma at 11 lbs and TJ at a furry 13.5 lbs). Not too much else to tell and still keep it "brief", so I'll save it for another time/place.

I hope we get a chance to chat some time.

      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!
