:) Um.. not sure what to say here. I just found the site.

Banded 9.18.2008.

309/272/135.

Former eating disorders, anorexia/bulimia as young teen, bulimia till early 30's, medicating with food till late 30's with result of over 100lbs gained.

metabolism tested normal. Get stuck on plateaus easy, speculation being that it's either becuause body freaks out at weight loss (starving myself again) or becuase I was at a weight for a "long time." No clue if either right but annoying just the same.

Lost 37lbs, about 1.45 lbs a week.

No work outs, chronic pain, but as weight comes off I am able to do more, and I am very pleased at that.

Whelp, that's about it.

Blessings, Pan :)

Hi Pan. Welcome to LBT. This site is a great place to find information and support. I have made some very good friends here and love hearing other's stories. Many of my questions have been answered here and my concerns addressed. Keep coming here, reading, and asking. I was banded the day after you were (Sept. 19th). I sure do know what you mean about plateaus - they are annoying!! I have been on one for over two weeks now. I am just trying to stay focused and know that eventually I will step down from this plateau. I'm glad you found this site and hope that you find it as helpful as I have. Take good care of yourself and keep in touch. Becky

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
