ONe MOnth Bandiversary!



Recommended Posts

I just realized that yesterday was one month with my band! I made it through the liquid stage from hell, then the mushie stage and now this semi-solid stage(still don't understand what semi-solid is). I have lost 23lbs and I go for my first fill on Oct. 6. he said if I am losing really good he would only do a fill if I requested one. I am gonna request it anyway. The band is meant to work with fills . I want to keep up the steady loss that I have been seeing weekly. I am trying really hard, even though I swear my nutritionist has me on an Atkins diet. Well I am so glad I made this decision. I have been getting alot of looks from the fellas lately too! I mean I can tell the difference in my face which just amazes me. Never before have I done a diet or lost weight and noticed it in my face. I have a birth defect that is called sturgy weber's oslo rondeau. It is a hemangioma that makes one side of my face bigger than the other. It always looks swollen. Now I can truly say that it just looks a tiny bit swollen . My plastic surgeon said that before she would do the last corrective surgery on the lip I would have to lose 100lbs now she told me I would only have to lose 27 more pounds and I am approved for the reconstruction on my lip(it is like normal on one side and on the other side it looks like Angelina Jolie lol). I told her I am going to wait because I will have to have a boob job. I have gone form a D cup to a C(the girls are leaving me). My mama said that when I lose 100lbs she is gonna buy me some boobs, Yea! Well enough rambling, but all in all my life is so much better now that I took a chance with this band. This is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I will try to put some pictures up when I figure out how.

      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!
