Congrats to everyone who is getting banded! You are in for a big life change!! I wish everyone success!

I have not been banded for long (June of this year) but I really feel like I've done well with the band so far. I think if I can do well, anyone can! I still have a long way to go to get to goal, but I have lost almost 70 pounds since June (including 20 pounds lost preop). My postop was pretty easy and I recovered quickly. I am going in for my 4th fill on Wednesday, and I think that should get me to the right amount of restriction. I hope so.

Please keep us updated on your progress and take advantage of LBT! So much information here!

Congrats! I am having my lab work done and I am faxing my 5 years medical history on Monday. My doctors office will submitt to my insurance for approval on Monday! I am praying for approval to have my surgery before the end of the year. I am want to start the New Year with a new tool that will help me reach my goals.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
