I am getting banded on the 16th! Like I mentioned in a previous my post, my Doctor/Surgeon does not require a pre-op diet, but after seeing how many that do- I have created my own liquid-only diet!! I figure it will only help- maybe shed a few extra pounds and hopefully make post op a little easier!! Getting excited and nervous at the same time!! 9 more days!!!

Hey, Lynner, glad you are feeling better each day. Do you have a lot of gas pains? What is your post-op diet and how are you dealing with it?

I am also getting banded on January 23rd. I have my 3 hour appt. tomorrow to meet with psychologist, nutritionist, and Dr. I am getting so nervous the closer we get. I am trying not to let my nerves get the best of me. I am more worried about the surgery than anything else. I wish it were here already!

      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!
