Surgery complete, discharged at a 2pm. Gassy? Yes. Throat is dry and a little sore. Overall I feel good just groggy. I'm home now, have enjoyed a sf Popsicle, and it felt soooo good to my dry mouth.

Hope everyone is ok :)

I agree that Popsicle is like heaven

Hi everyone, My name is Kathy and I'm a newbie to this site but just received word this a.m. (5/15/12) that my surgery is scheduled for May 22. I start my liquid diet tomorrow. I'm so ready. My cousin had lapband done a year ago in April so she has been a big help to me but would really appreciate words of encouragement and support through this from some others and will offer the same especially since we all have the same goals for weight loss.

congrats Kathy

The May banders is a great bunch of people and everyone is very sopportive of every one. We also have a group called the May blooming banders if you would like to join jump on in. You may add your surgery date also. If you have any problems just let me know.

8 days post op and now on full liquids. Wondering if I can have broccoli and cheddar Soup from panera bread? Anyone know

Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

I don't believe so, Your Soups are all suppose to be 98 fat free and I really don't believe that Panera is selling fat free soups.

For all the New May banders, Welcome! Sorry I have not been on a bunch. But been very busy since my surgery (5-2-12). My mother just had surgery today and my mother in law is in the hospital. So Hopefully things are starting to slow down and I'll have more time for all my new best friends "The May Banders". We also have a group called the May Blooming Bandsters. If you would like to join we would love to have you! If you have any problems joining let me know and I will send you an invite. You may also add your surgery to our calendar there or let me know and I will add you to the May bander calandar. As most of you are finding out that the May banders are a group of great people. Please come JOin in all the support and love we give to each other. Let go a journey together!

      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!
