No Lap-Band for now.



Recommended Posts

I found out today that the military hospital in South Korea doesn't do lap-band only bypass. :crying: I am disappointed but not devastated. I'm going to keep trying on my own to loose the weight while we are here and if nothing happens get it when we move again.

So hopefully I'll either by slimmer or joining you all in two years.

I don't know if you will get back on to read this but I wanted to encourage you to keep trying on your own.

My loss with the band was very slow until recently I started using MyDailyPlate. It is on the Livestrong web site. I am not a Lance Armstrong fan but I am a DailyPlate fan. I have tried to use several of the online food trackers and was never able to stick with it because it took too much time or whatever. MyDailyPlate is great. It helped me set my target calories and tells me how I am doing with that plus it tracks fat, carbs, sodium, and Protein information which are all keys to weight loss as well. I need my protein's to be high (100% or better) and the others to be under 100%.

Focus on nutrition (including water) and exercise and you should see improvement in your health even if you don't see weightloss.

      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.

        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.

      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!
