I registered a few minutes ago, but have been browsing this site for several months now. I had my lap band surgery in November 2007 and have lost 63 lbs. as of my last weigh-in and fill. I had the procedure performed in Albany, GA and Dr. Bagnato performed the procedure. Suppose that makes me another "Bagnato Bandit" :w00t:. Anyway, I just wanted to say "hey" to my fellow bandsters.

Well, Hello from Arkansas. I also just registered to use the site. I was banded (that just sounds wierd) on June 19th 2008. I have lost 25 pounds. I had my 3rd fill on October 8th, and boy let me tell you, that was the one that did it for me...I have hit my sweet spot.

So anyway, we will see how it goes from here. Everything has been going great.

Good luck to you

Lucy

Hey Georgia Girl!

How close are you to your goal? Are you still continuing to loose? I have lost over 50 lbs since April but the process is slowing down. How is it going the last few months?

I'm new to the site as well! Just wanted to stop in & say hello to all. I haven't had my surgery just yet, but will have my date at the end of the day on Nov 11th, 08. Any encouraging words, words of support or words of wisdom?

      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.
