Good evening I am d76jp67 and I am looking forward to my surgery. I am having mine on 12.23.10 I know it is crazy doing this right before Christmas but I don't care the pain in my knees is worse than not being able to eat Christmas dinner. I have arthritis in my right knee and have had the left knee replaced. I don't want to replace the right one so losing weight is my only alternative. I hope the support here will be helpful once I have my surgery.

I know what you mean about the knees! I have had a scope in right one and needed some trimming on the miniscus ect. It has arthritis too. I have sore feet and a bad back so this will help my health too. Glad you're looking forward to the surgery, so am I. I'm just waiting to hear when it will be.. good luck!

It has been a while since I posted and I have had a set back. My band slipped off and it made me really sick and now it will not be put back on until February. I was devastated when Dr. G told me I would have to wait until February. So I have had a normal size tummy since Nov. 20. 2012 but I still eat as though my band is fill. Dr. G also told me to begin working out so I hired a Personal Trainer and she has been working with me to make sure I don't gain. So far I am down two pounds and counting. I will be lighter by the time I weigh in on January 14, 2012. I am determined not to gain any weight in spite of the holidays.

      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!
