I have not read all the comments, but I do think that we should be able to talk about other WLS, because it can help someone make a critical decision.

We decided to launch seperate sister sites/forums for other weight loss surgeries as well as sites for other topics that aren't directly related to Lap-Band surgery.

Our first site is Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG) Surgery Forum .

Over the next week or two we plan on launching a few more.

Thanks!

Just to give you an idea on the sites we're launching:

1) Realize Band Forum

2) RNY Forum

3) WLS Revision Forum

4) Plastic Surgery Forum

5) Recipe Forum

6) Duodenal Switch Forum

7) One Main Site which will pull content from all sites together

I've found that having one web site serving the needs of multiple communities isn't the greatest idea. That's one of the main reasons we're going to keep LBT focused on one thing - Lap-Band and only Lap-Band.

Stay tuned......

We decided to create sister communities for other weight loss surgeries. We started with VerticalSleeveTalk.com for Gastric Sleeve Surgery in 2007. We recently launched, RNYTalk.com for gastric Bypass Surgery and SleevePlicationTalk.com for Gastric Sleeve Plication Surgery.

      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!
