Recommended Posts

Hi did go to your website. Wow you are a great success. I also had my band repositioned and now I am dealing with the extra pounds. When did you notice weight loss again? I have had two fills but I feel like I can eat too much. Tonight for dinner I had chicken breast and I ate an entire one and no problem? The doc seems hesistant on my fills? Can guzzle Water never could I do that prior? Your thoughts? If you have time please respond.

Welcome. I think I've seen your website. Did your mom and dad go with you? I think it was you... Too bad about the slip but you've done so well! I am only a couple of months out.

Hi Mae!

I remember "meeting" you last fall and throwing a fit because I wanted my band right that second and couldn't bear the waiting. Ever since then, I've had you in the back of my head, reminding me to hang on because it will all happen in due time. You were right! I want to thank you for being such a great example. Not an example of someone who had a perfect journey, but someone who had her fair share of bumps along the road and STILL got where she wanted to be. :P

      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.

      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.
