Recommended Posts

I just finalized mt husbands surgery date with Dr. Kuri for April 19th! He's never had surgery[ He's 51] before and he's scared to death! He wants it so bad that I know he will be brave when the time comes! When he goes down for his first fill, I plan on having the surgery too. Is anyone out there going down to Mexico at that time???Would love to talk to anyone that is!We are counting the days!!! sheree a.

Hi Sheree! I too am scheduled for April 19, here in Texas! How is your DH doing on his pre surgery dieting?? I am eating tons of Protein, but I am worried that I am eating too much Protein, even though I am allowed to eat regular portions. I am supposed to eat 6 times a day, and I am shocked that I am able to eat that much!!

I am also supposed to exercise 6 days a week for 30-45 minutes. I am doing pretty good with that one, but sometimes it is tough to be tired and know that you still have to exercise before you call it a day. SO I am gonna exercise on my lunch break today and see if that helps.

All of this dieting is kinda hard to do without the band yet, but I know it is preparing me for "the big day". AND I have learned that it is possible to live without pop and bread.< /p>

Best of luck to ya'll.

Kathi

HI THERE, maybe is irrelevant but I am being banded on April 18, in New Zealand. it is great how you are both ( your hubby and you) going thru' this together, I wished i had someone to share this with you are so lucky! When I posted on this site no-one had the same date, but now they are all coming out of the wood-work so to speak! Here in NZ you must make a date well in advance, but people don't seem to on these sites, can you book suddenly or is it more a case, that people book then suddenly discover this site?

Good Luck on the 18th! Yes, we are lucky to be doing this at the same time,well, it will be a month or so between our surgeries. If you have the operation in the States,it takes awhile to book your date but in Mexico they had openings fairly soon, I think that is because that's just about all they do there.I wished that I would of had this done when I was young like you but I guess,better late then never!Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing O.K.? bye, Sheree a.

      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!
