I have a date for April 5th for surgery. It is a new program at our hospital, two surgeons will be there one with much experience! The first 5 patients are employees of the hospital like me. The only stumbling block is BCBS of Tennessee. They keep on finding new issues with the whole deal! So pray for me that it really does happen asap. I've been waiting forever it seems. To those who don't plan to go through insurance, and do self pay........I was told by the insurance case manager that if you do self pay insurance will not cover complications. That is scary. Kelley

Where in tennessee are you having your surgery done?

Hey everyone!! I am scheduled to have my lap-band surgery on April 29th and i start my all liquid diet on April 15th. I'm excited about starting this whole new life and being so healthy cuz i'm only 23 and i've already got so many health issues due to weight,but i'm also so so scared about this whole thing...i'm honestly starting to doubt if i can even do this or not!!!! I have lost the weight i was supposed to,but i tend to bounce back and forth with the eating right and exercising...i don't know what to do!! :(

Hello everyone,

I originally had a surgery date of March 28, 2011 but that date was cancelled. My new date is April 13th. I will be joining you April Bandsters. Yay!!! My pre-opt diet starts March 30th.

Good Luck to all!

      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!
