Lapband surgery April 17th



Recommended Posts

My Lapband surgery is TOMORROW ...... April 17th at 7:30

AM. I have to be there ar 6:30 AM and Topeko, KS is 2 hours from

where I live!! Part of me is very excited, yet part of me is scared

to death!! This will be a life changing surgery ... my life will

never be the same again ..... the way I eat will never be the same

again .... the person I am will never be the same!! I am kinda

referring to my surgery date as my 're-birth day'.

The 10 day pre-op diet has not been as bad as I thought it might

be. I have not cheated once I can say!! The hardest part is fixing

meals for my family and not eating it.

Say a prayers for em PLEASE!!

Sherri, congratulations to you and Amourette. I think there is one other person but I can't find my list to check. So, the best to that person also. Sherri you will be just fine, and yes you are starting a brand new exciting life. But look at all the people you have pulling for you on the other side. I hope to join you next Monday. Let us know how your doing after your surgery.

      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!
