band newbie, site newbie



Recommended Posts

hi, my name is heidi. i was banded last monday, 2/2/09. i'm trying to learn my way around this site while i learn my way around the band.

i've already managed to overdo it once -- even on all liquids! last night i had clam chowder for dinner (blended) and the first mug tasted so good that i had a second even though i was not hungry. i felt stuffed and uncomfortable all evening, hoping i could not have done any damage to my band placement. :thumbdown:

my surgeon was dr tersigni in coos bay oregon -- a ten-hour drive from my home in western washington. so far, very happy with dr t and his staff (bay bariatrics.)

looking forward to this journey!!!

Hi Heidi,

I'm Jerry and I also had my band surgery on 2/2/09. It's been pretty easy until today, when all of a sudden I was hit with this wave of hunger:( Have you experienced anything like this yet ?

I wish you an good luck on this odyssey and look forward to hearing about you success!

Hello and congratulations and best wishes on your new journey.

I live in PA but I was banded in Jersey in October 08'. This forum is great I use it alot. If I get bored and want to eat or tired and dont want to exercise I come here read whats new and it helps me get motivated. The band was the best decision I made.

      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.
