Same here have to be there at 6:45 am. Surgery at 8:30. Not nervous yet just worried about the IV of all things, crappy veins but with all the liquids the last 2 days they should be easy to get to.....or so I am telling myself.

Good luck. I just had my surgery this morning too. Was there at 0730 and home by 3pm. They found and repaired a hiatal hernia. So far so good. Very little pain. My surgeon does the single incision through the belly button. We are bandy buddies!

Don't forget me! I have to be there at 6:15 in the morning! And its 11:30 at night right now. I'm nervous but trying not to think about it too much...no going back now!!!! My biggest fear still at this point is the "what if I don't lose weight?".... I guess tomorrow will be the beginning to the answer of that question...I read and read about everything but I guess you don't really know till you are there! Best of luck fellow buddies! Hope to be talking to you tomorrow! Much love to you!

I made it. I am home and eating/drinking some chicken broth. I had a couple of complications-not with the band though. I had a hernia and that was repaired. The also I had a hole in my diaphram. Mt DR says that was probably cause bt a auto wrech i had last year. I have to return to have that repaired.

      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!
