Monday I will be getting my band. I haven't told any of my family, the only person that knows is my husband. I am getting super nervous now! I know I can do this. I just ask everyone to say a little prayer for me since my family that usually prays for me will not be praying for this event since they have no idea! THANKS EVERYONE!!

Good luck!! Surgery will go fine!! Just remember to sip your Water, use Gas X, and walk when you can. Most importantly, rest! You'll be in my thoughts for a speedy recovery :)

Yep you too will do fine. It really is not that big of a deal,, I know that it is a big change, but it's easy for them. So try to relax. Let me know when your back.

Well I am offically banded now. Everything went well. I am not in too much pain. I would say the only thing that hurts is where my port is located. The Dr said they have to do a little more prying in that area to get it in place and its a larger incision in that area. I would say the worst part is trying to get that nasty barium down for your xray...blah. Thank goodness I havent had much gas pain and I have yet to be hungry. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers that were sent my way! Good luck to all of you that have upcoming surgery dates.

      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!
