You look great!!! I could only hope that I could nearly that good. I will have my surgery on 10/18 at Emory Midtown in Atlanta. Dr. Srinivasan is my surgeon. Being older might make a difference in how it goes. But I'm trying to be positive. Keep up the good work! You are an example and an incentive for the rest of us!! God bless. PitPat

Anyone using Emory? Or one of their doctors? If so, I would love to hear from you.

Congrats to you :smile2: Me like an idiot, I took my before pics in a black shirt and jeans. I think it hid some of the creases that have disappeared the last month.

For me, I cant believe how many people that tell me how much different my face looks. It went from puffy to now a hint of cheekbone lol. Im excited to see whats going to happen when I drop the 100.

Thanks so much, everyone!

As far as "secrets", well, the only secret was my liquid diet. It kinda sucks, but not as much as it did pre-op! I'm on liquids until next Monday, when I start mushies.

I expect things to change once I start eating, and until I get to the proper fill. But in the meantime, this is really fun!

Day 3 post-op was the worst in terms of pain and swelling, after that the recovery seemed to pick right up.

Good luck to all of you who are about to be banded, and congrats to all of you who already have. Thanks again for your kind words!!

      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!
