Coming to you from Toronto Canada, we don't have coverage for this up here, so investing $16,000 on ME! I am booked for April 4th. Just finishing 3rd day of preop which for me is 3 Protein Shakes per day for a total of 750 cals. Can also have up to 250 cals of select green veggies, but so far I have stuck to celery. Can't wait to be referred to as "skinny" LoL

Wow Some how I was lucky enought to have my insurance pay the whole thing. The only thing is I have to go 7 hours to and from the surgery the same day but they are driving me there and back. I just don't want to be in a lot of pain for the trip home. Good luck to you!

Hi moonlited. I'm getting my band in April...the 12 to be exact. I also live in the bay area of California but I am going to Mexico to get mine.

My mom had hers done in Mexico...great doctor, great service, beautiful facility etc...everything was going good til it slipped. Then US doctors refused to work on it. Different band they put in and liability reasons. HAD to have it removed as she was sooo sick! In hospital etc...took it out, it was stamped "sample not for use."

Not telling you not to get banded, I will be banded in April...just know the Mexican one can save a couple $ but long term it can be devastating.

      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!
