Welcome Thick2slim! Glad you found us, LOL. I am scheduled for the 27th of Dec. right after Christmas. I have also wondered how much I will lose and how quickly. It seems that there are all kinds of results depending on the amount of effort you put in. I plan to make the best of it. I've tried so many other diets and I am ready to get rid of this weight once and for all.

I'm scheduled for 12/5! So happy! They said to start my pre-op diet the day after thanksgiving. It needs to get here quick because I keep "treating" myself and I don't want to gain more weight to have to lose... Ugh.

We get banded the same day! I start my liquid diet the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We can be "Band Buddies"!

I'm in Florida. The only Christmas food I really think will bother me is the actual Christmas dinner. Other than that, a 2 week liquid diet is what scares the heck out of me!

Hi all, I am in Australia and am scheduled for surgery on the 20th. My birthday was last week so this is the best birthday and christmas present to myself EVER. Very excited. Please all chime back after your surgeries so we know how you are doing and to share your experiences.

      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!
