I am going in for my band tomorrow at at 8 am. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh:omg: .

I am so nervous, and excited. I am of course nervous for the possibility of death:eek: . More so scared about the pain of recovery :sick . Truth be told I can't believe this day has come. I have been on this board for a long time and learned so much from everyone. I truly am shocked it is time:faint: . I have no idea how I am going to handle all of this. As the time draws closer all I think about is change. I know great changes will come but I am scared. Love you all and wish me luck. I will take anything prayers, chants, rain dance, white light, traffic lights, anything. Thanks all. hugs ;)

Good luck, hon. MsJoy says that her post op pain, on a scale of 1 to 10 was about a 1.5. She never even opened her bottle of pain medicine. Just follow the doctor's instructions to the tee and heal. Don't worry about losing right now. Well....you know all the right things to do, so do them.

You'll do fabulous and then in a couple of weeks you can tell me what to expect. Just take it easy and don't try to over do anything. This is your healing time, so take it.

You'll be in my prayers and let us know how your feeling when you can.

You say your more scared about pain & recovery. That is great b/c I bet you have very little or none at all. You're probably all done right now & talking up a storm saying " wow that was great & I feel a little worn for wear but not bad at all. Did they really do anything to me? Am I really banded?"

Hope your up & about quickly- walk walk walk walk & yeah by the way WALK!! CONGRATS!!!!

I agree - in a couple of weeks, you'll can tell me what to expect, too. I'm 28 days pre-op. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow morning. I'm sure it will be just fine. Sending prayers and hugs.

      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!
