Hi ppl!gd day!

I will be checking in2 the hospital tmr and havin the surgery on tues.

I'm very nervous and scared right now, not sure whether i'm doin the rite thing.

This is my 1st major operation and i have no idea wat to expect even though i read up a lot abt the lap band and am sure i wana get it done. i think its the surgery itself that scares me.

At the same time i'm very excited too... Is this normal?? i want to cry and laugh at the same time... :think

It is normal to be frightened. Let me tell you, I was too! Don't worry..It will be much easier than you think it will be. Good Luck.

Piece of cake! I was anxious the night before too. The medical staff will treat you like royalty and you will be very reassured. You'll do just great!!

You and I will be banded on the same day. I pray that all goes well for you! Mine is day surgery so I don't go in until Tuesday morning. God bless you!

Good luck to both of you, I will keep you both in my prayers for smooth and easy surgeries and swift recoveries.

Yes it is normal to feel both excited and scared, especially since you have never been through a surgery and you don't really know what to expect. But as surgeries go, this is one of the easier ones if you will because they do it laproscopically so it's less invasive and a quicker recovery time.

Best to you both!

Cindy

      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!
