I was banded June 5th by Dr. Hollis in Houston and it has been nothing but a life saver! I started out at 301, in a 44 waist jeans moving to at 46 and looking for velcro shoes! As of today, i have had 3 fills. I started out with 4cc in a 10cc band and now at 6.7cc. The only thing's that give me issues are bread and dry meat... anything else goes done. How I got so lucky and have had no issue with eating food or things i don't know, but this thing works. I am now at 238 and 38 jeans. Dr. Hollis is a life saver! :(

Great news and well done. I hope I do as well as you. I got banded on the 15th Sept and sound about the same size and weight as you. 300 pound, size 42 jeans. I just hope I can lose the pounds over the next few months. I don 't get my first fill for another 4 weeks so I will have to be patient.

CONGRATS! Isn't it wonderful to feel in control again? I know you will be successful and the first thing you know, you'll be in size 36 jeans.

you are awesome, I keep reading about people who are banded and losing so much weight in so little time, how did you do it I'm only 5 weeks banded and lost 17lbs,but I am happy,I will be eating regular foods from here on end do you still take the Protein Shakes, I will try the powdered milk and add it to milk ,see how I like it Unjury Protein is great but costly, other Liquid Protein shakes are not as good at all, good luck

      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!
