Yay! Today is my 8 week surgi-versary. I got my first fill on 5/14/09, since then I've lost 7 more lbs. With the 12lbs lost during the 2 week pre-op diet, I have lost 29 lbs since my surgery on 4/3/09 for a total of 41 lbs lost!! I don't know if this is typical, above average, below average... I'm just excited, :smile:

My clothes are starting to get big... I shall have to go buy new bras soon. :smile:

All in all... a great day I think!

Good luck to everyone out there have a lovely banded day!

Congrats on your loss! Thanks for spreading your cheer around!!! I think your slightly above average although everyone is different. I'm about six weeks post op and have lost 22 lbs. I'm probably slightly below average. : ( I actually re-gained a 3 lbs before my first fill. I had my first fill 3 days ago on 05/26/09 and feel like I'm back on track. I've lost the lbs I regained plus one! I'm not anywhere close to my sweet spot but, hope to be well on my way.

I watched my wife go through it, and I may have to give up my Man card for admitting it, but I was very happy this week to go buy, and wear to work, 36 jeans and a Large shirt. (former 42/XXL)

I'd be curious as to how that is priced. Shakee is one of those multilevel marketing companies where the goal is to get someone to sell for you more so than to actually sell stuff. So the actual user is paying commission to a long list of people.

      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!
