Also scheduled for July 31. Nervous but looking forward to the big change coming.

Today is the first time that I became aware of a pre-op diet. My surgery is july 29. I see the nutritionist tomorrow. Is she the one to tell me?

EGD exam today. Not bad until the sore throat set in. Blah

I had my EGD today too. No sore throat yet. Finger crossed it stays away over night. EGD was not bad at all. Surgery the 24th. So excited, yet very nervous!

After surgery u will have the same sore throat as they place a tube for breathing. That pain is the least of ur worries :)

You wonderful ladies will do great!....just know that the pounds didn't come over night and they will not fall off over night. Be encouraged and know that this is a New Life Journey...not a diet. Good luck and much success to you all.

So nerves had my administration test done today ekg and all I'm just nerves about being put to sleep...

I've never had a fear of being put to sleep. I think I'm more nervous for the band amd the lifestyle changes. I'm so ready yet nervous about the unknown. Everyone has such different recoveries, some have band complications and others do awesome. So much unknown stuff out there. Excited yet apprehensive.

      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!
