Recommended Posts

Thanks, that is awesome.

I am very much in favor of breastfeeding and am sure going to do it. I have asked both my lapband surgeon as well as my high risk OB doc and neither feel I will have any trouble with doing so, in relation to the lapband.

I did not have any of my fills taken out during the pregnancy and will most likely continue with the same amount after I have the baby (I have him in 7 days).

I am so glad to hear this. I had my daughter 6 weeks ago and really want to get a fill. My dr took everything out at the end of my first trimester so my band is totally empty and I am worried about gaining back the weight I have lost. I only had my band 3 months when I got pregnant so my weight loss was only 35 lbs which I an still at. I have my 6 week on appt tomorrow and if I have gained I am calling my lb dr!

      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?
