I have to say that since I found this web site, I have been reading and reading and reading. I am due to be banded in less than 2 months and the closer I get, the more spooked I get. I know I am doing what is right for me and reading your stories has helped me. I see that most of you have added pictures and weight chart and things. My step-son will be home from the airforce in Aug, i'll get him to give me computer 101 so I may jazz up a bit.

Again thanks for all your imput

Welcome Rainbow. Keep reading, reading, reading. Post and ask questions, too. The more informed you are, the more confidant you will be and in my opinion, the better you'll do. You'll be on the losing side before you know it.

Good luck,

Welcome to the site. I found this about 2 months prior to surgery. I was just banded last Tuesday and I couldn't live without this site. It is great. You learn so much about how others are doing, handling surgery, problems, issues, good news, etc. Keep looking at the site and good luck with your surgery. I feel great 5 days post op and down 5 lbs.

      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!
