Checking into the hospital for my banding at 6:00 am tomorrow morning.. I am excited and a bit nervous!! More nervous about my husband finding a way to come and get me when I'm ready to come home than about the surgery itself.

I have already lost 24 lbs because of diet and excercise - looking forward to abt a 120 more.....

Thank you both - I will keep you up to date. I joined the site a few weeks back, but kinds of laying low until my surgery.

I am 24 lbs lightwer than I was in April which puts me at 238 (starteed at 262). My goal is 140, which the PA says may be too low, but we will just have to see how I look/feel.

getting ready to go take my anti-bacterial shower (as ordered by the hospital -1 tonight and 1 before hospital in the am)

See you all tomorrow:thumbup:

Pillow for the ride home? Please can you explain this. Don't mean to be so clueless, but just don't understand.

Pillow to 'hug' in case you have pain. Hugging the pillow helps with the pain from surgery. In case you have to cough? Or in case the ride home is not a smooth ride?

      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!
