Just set up an account on here :)

I'm getting my band on Feb 11th in Toronto, Canada. Excited. Nervous. I start my pre-op diet next Monday...

Looking forward to sharing this experience with some of you!

Hi everyone, i am scheduled for feb. 26th. I am seeing my MD for clearance and the gastro doc and getting recent blood work. . I am 54 years old and i noticed Cynthia's post saying she had to have a stress test. Is anyone else having more tests than i am? I dont want to worry. Is there anything else i should be doing? Sara

2/14 here! Really anxious just hoping all the pre op tests come back clear and then also worried about surgery, I have anxiety so of course I'm worrying about a million things ( will my bp be too high to where they won't operate/will I be allergic to the drugs/will they do the wrong procedure on accident) just stupid things due to my anxiety. I keep telling myself that I'm not being forced to do it and its something I really, really want so surgery is worth it. Hope I'm not the only one feeling this way...

Kara! My friend, you are NOT alone! I have had those same "what ifs" but I'm just trusting that all will be fine, these docs do this all of the time they got this! I think the added anxiety just comes from never having done this before...you hang in their girl, you got this! We got this!

      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!
