Hello from N Alabama

Hello, I'm Teri from New Hope, AL. I had my surgery in late August of 08. I have lost about 26-28 pounds. Yes, I should have lost more. However, it's taken me a little while to get "in tune" with my body. I've had about 4 adjustments. The last adjustment was the only one that I could really tell a difference. Just wanted to say Hi! I love reading your posts; it really helps!!! Good luck to us all!!!

Hi Teri, I was banded October 30 2008 and am also losing slow. I am like you, it has taken a while before I could feel any restriction. I only started feeling restriction with my last fill so I am hoping it will come off a little quicker. Good Luck!

Hey Teri~ I live in Muscle Shoals and I'm scheduled for lapband surgery May 4th by Dr. Suggs in Decatur. I'm so excited and wish it was over. Glad to see someone so close on the forum.

      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!
