I'm so glad to have found an Alabama group on here! Some of the other groups just kind of ignore me but I know you sweet folks know the way of the South and will be friendly! :-)

I was banded on December 9th and have lost as much as 20 pounds but gained some back once I started eating food again...even pureed. I'm ok with it and it seems that it may just be the swelling going down and the intestines filling up again like they should.

Question -- have any of y'all had sternum pain or pain at the entry of the pouch? I made the mistake of eating too big of a bite one day and it seems to have caused an irritation that won't go away -- no fever, nothing else except this pain -- it feels like severe gas but it doesn't go away with gas expulsion (either end :-) ha ha!) Just wondered what's going on and if I should just bear it as part of the healing or if I should be concerned.

Also, what's the difference in feeling of a slippage and getting stuck -- that scares me.

Thanks y'all! I have more friends who are almost ready to be banded -- they'll join us too soon!

Blessings and Merry Christmas!!!

  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?
