Okay, so my surgery is scheduled for Oct. 13th! I can't wait. This has been a relatively fast process for me. My regular doctor recommended it to me at the end of August. I attended a seminar on the 6th of September. I was approved and scheduled right after that. I could have had surgery sooner, but had to wait until I had a few days off. I have been reading these boards and doing endless research, not to mention reading two books about the surgery, which I have found all very helpful. I just responded to a post about having 2nd thoughts. It is kind of scary, but NO 2nd thoughts here! I am not this fat girl that I'm looking at now. I know there can be complications with any surgery, and I hope that I am okay. I have felt very confident about the process and surgery the entire time! I'm thinking, at this point, nothing can be worse than the anticipation and waiting for Oct. 13th! I know this will be hard work, but I look so forward to this adventure! I'm actually looking forward to eating smaller portions. I'm sick of overeating and then the guilt and the entire cycle of it all! I don't mind exercising~I use to be an athlete for heavens sake. I can't wait to move...I mean really move again! Surgery ~better life~ Here I come! I wish it was tomorrow! tongue.gif

Congratulations on your upcoming banding! My surgery is October 12th and the process went quickly. Went to my first pre op info session on 8 /11 so it will be just 2 months from start to banding( fingers crossed). I am so excited for this. I feel the same way you do about being tired of over eating. Let's keep in touch. Good luck!!

      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.

      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!
