Erykah,

When were you banded? How much have you lost so far?

Hi JuneAct2! I haven't been banded yet, I'm going for my seminar next Wednesday 23rd, then off to my initial dr visit on October 2nd. . I exercise like a devil (with griping) because I have to, I hate hurting in my back (I'm 6'0 tall and weigh 330) and legs. . .it helps my heart too. . .I'm nervous about getting the surgery but I know it'll help me alot (I hope) :mad2:

Hi Erykah,

My highest known weight was 338 and I'm 5 5, or maybe 6. I can feel differences at 7 months out, and I commend you, even though you gripe (I do too, and I'm sure we're not the only ones!) You're already ahead of the game because you're exercising. I've found it easier to move since I've been banded. I don't like exercising any more than before though! :)

Hi all,

It's been nine months since anyone posted here, and I'm just wondering how everyone is doing.

I'm on vacation this week. I've been on the treadmill every day, and done my weight resistance training, but I really don't like exercising. Yes, I feel good after I've done it; yes, I've lost a couple of pounds, but that doesn't make it easier. Can anyone relate?

I just wanted to see if any of my fellow not overachievers are still out there!

Hi Debbie!

Still here, barely. And still NOT an achiever! LOL!

Glad you checked in. Great job on the exercising. I know it's hard.

      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.

        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!
