Hello to everyone. I just had my surgrey on Aug 24, 2005. Was so excited when they called with the date to have it. Glad its done, just hope to do good with it. Thats what makes me nerves is the thought of it not working. Glad you all are here for me to talk too, cause I'm going to need you. Thanks Pam in MIssouri

Hi Pam, welcome to LBT!! Everyone has the same concerns, you're not alone. Just take it slowly and be patient, it's not an overnight change. You'll do just fine, and we're here to sympathize, empathize, and possibly answer a question or two along the way. You're on your way!! :)

Hello from Florida. I have been banded for a little while and lost some weight (still have a lot to go). I wish you all the luck and be easy with the new you, this is a very new and wonderful thing. You will most likely push the limits but who hasn't, Sometimes I still do, thank God those are few and far between. Don't get too hungry, when I get hungry I eat too fast and that's a BIG no no. I am happy for you that you have found this web site soon after your banding, unlike me I just found a month ago now. I am so happy to be in touch with people who are like me and have been through some of the same pain. Keep the faith, and the only dumb question is the one you don't ask. Peace for the south Butch

There are several of us who are new to this, and I think we all have the same fears. Let's hang in there and see what happens!

Wishing you great success!

      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!
