I got banded 2 years ago and now I am 20lbs heavier than when I went in. I have no one to blame but myself because I drink when I eat. That is my biggest problem, I cheat. Now two years out and 215lbs later, I hate the way I look, feel and I want to make a change but don't know how. Any advice would be apreciated. Today I made a promise to myself to actually stick ot the dieting. See, before I waas not committed to dieting, I'd et whatever I want.:wink:

Maybe you should go and get another fill since it's been a while, your body has gotten acustomed to how you started eating. Don't give up.

Good advise from everyone...you need to get into a support group and also go see if you need a fill....I would also suggest the 5 day pouch test. Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test

Good luck, Joanie :wink:)

Take it one step at a time. Step one: Go get your band tightened. Step two: quit drinking when you eat. This is a hard one as you've done this your whole life! I know it was my hardest.

Once you get step 1 & 2 down start step 3 which is exercise of some sort. Whether it's going for a walk or riding your bike.

Good luck!!! Take control back. You can do it!

      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.

      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!
