I am new to the board and getting banded tomorrow morning. I am at the end of day two of the Clear liquids and all clean from the inside out. I even cleaned my naval! Lol. I am feeling pretty good, just nervous.

I am wondering if I am doing the right thing? Every once in a while, I have doubts and wonder if everything will go smooth. Reading the possible things that can go wrong scares me. I am hoping that I can fall asleep quickly tonight.

You will do great. You chose this process with a clear head months ago. Second thoughts are natural, you are taking a huge step and changing the way you eat for the rest of your life. Try to relax. You will be a bit nervous tomorrow too.

Remember that your future is the reason you are doing this. Get as much sleep as you can, chances are, you won't sleep again until after the surgery. (I'm not counting the drug induced type - lol)

Let us know how you are doing when you are up to logging on. I know you'll do great!

Please find comfort in knowing that a few months from now you'll be alot lighter and you'll be wishing you'd done it sooner!

Hi, This is my first post on here, it's all a bit daunting isnt it? Best of luck for tomorrow, I'm sure it won't be long and you know that yes you did make the right decision. I am due this Monday for my LAP-BAND® and have been that busy with everything else this week, so the weekend is here and all of a sudden it's hit me with a thud..........like you.....second thoughts. But know in my heart it's the only way to beat "this struggle" I've had for years.

I must admit though I am on here to inload my guilt, I had a handful of hot chips yesterday, yes am on opt-slim, but I was like an animal, has anyone else out there "slipped" on pre-op diets?

Anyway on the straight and narrow, best wishes to you tomorrow, can't wait to hear how it all went. Cheers.:(

Thank you everyone. I am back and every thing went well. I am feeling pretty sore and bloated but the pain med and Gas X really helps. The past two days, my days consisted of sleeping and walking. Lol.

Can anyone tell me how long will the gas pain last?

      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!
