Hi Everyone! I am going to be banded on Monday, January 17th at Marina del Rey Hospital in California. I am nervous but excited! 2011 is going to be the start of a great year!

Congrats! How are you doing so far?

I'm doing okay, still recovering, thanks for asking. Took the bandages off to reveal the staples today (yuck) and trying to take it slow with the liquids but learning that what seems like a little bit is still too much. Looking forward to being a few more days down the road to hopefully be pain free! And looking forward to having a few more January buddies :)

Had my band put in Monday and feel really good. Minimal pain, mostly from burping.

Went to work a couple hours today and feel very good. I guess I was blessed with out some of the complaints others had.

      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!
