Surgery In The Morning



Recommended Posts

Hello, my name is Diane. I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning. A little nervous, a little excited. Things have progressed very quickly from my decision to persue the Lap Band to my pending surgery. I guess I'm lucky in that regard but it all seems a little surreal.

Best wishes to you! You will do great... just think about how great your life is going to be after you get this all set! Fight through the discomfort, walk as much as you can as soon as you can and do whatever your doctor tells you. Good luck tomorrow!

Hey Diane -- I'm tomorrow too. Without seeing your post, I pretty much just wrote the same thing -- I can't believe how quickly this has all come to be! And tomorrow, we'll be banded!

I'll be sending you lots of healing thoughts.....

Congratulations! Mine was quick too but good thing or I would have chickened out. :) I bought a book about lap band successes to keep me in the right frame of mind while healing. 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.

        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!
