Is tentatively my date. I have 4 months to get my insurance required pre-op out of the way and get my mind right for this Journey. I've started a blog if anyone would like to hear how it is going and would love to hear from some band-buddies that will be going through the process around the same time!!

I was planning for a September banding, but now it's looking like October. My preferred day would be October 16, that way I would have Fall Break before I have to return to work. I'll check out your blog!

Got banded ystdy and I have been in excruciating pain since i woke up from surgery from the gas especially in my back. I have a nausea patch behind my ear so no nausea at all. My incisions are ok but the port area is a little sore. But I am still miserable. The heating pad is helping my back pain. And frequent back massages from my hubby, mom, & d on helps a little. I have probably walked a mile up & down my hallway trying to get rid of it. I signed up for Lap Band not gas. #miserable

Vickie I assure you the road you're on is a short one. Tomorrow will be better. Come Monday you will feel totally different. Just keep doing what you're doing and the misery will soon dissipate and be forgotten.

      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!
