Newbie here. I'm going in this Friday at 11:30am. Need to be at the surgery center at 9:30am. On the last day of the 15 day fast. No solid food. Bariatric Advantage shakes only with fruit or nuts blended in. They were really tasty so that made it much easier. Clear Liquids also allowed. Tomorrow it's clear liquids only and nothing after midnight. Lost 20.5 lbs so far. Feeling good and ready for surgery. The Kane Center in the Chicago burbs is awesome. My doc is Dr. Kane jr himself. So far a great experience with plenty of info. Just thought I would chime in here because I'm sure we all need the support up to and after being banded. Congrats to all who have gone so far and thanks for sharing your experiences!

3 day pre-op sounds good. 3 week was torture.

I can imagine 3 weeks....I start Sunday and No christmas deserts...Oh well I can't complain (okay a little), but I am going to be right... lol

      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!
