Hi I'm new here but my surgical date is Sept. 19th' date=' I'm excited and scared. I formally had a Lapband that was removed 5/11. So I don't want to be a repeat failure.

I think it is actually good that there are few of us in September we can share out post op experience :) and support each other.

Welcome Fran' date='

I think your feelings are pretty normal. The good thing is there a lot of people here who went from Lapband to Sleeve and have been very successful. I have the nervouse and scared feeling as well but also mixed with excitement. My surgery is Sept. 18th. Good luck on your journey.

Surgery date of 9/15 in Tijuana with Dr. Ramos-Kelly. Excited, nervous, scared...but I have to get through a big east coast camping trip with my family before I even get to think about my surgery trip. :)

Hey all September pals: I still don't have a date but I have my gas x. HA! I'm building my needed supplies slowly but surely. Wishful thinking? Perhaps...

Well I have gotten my insurance approval. Im excited and nervous at the same time. I have chose the date of september 24. Need time to get everything together. I have started my liquid diet early and now i am constipated. Has this happened to anyone else with the preop diet? what are some good shakes and drinks. Protien powder that works well when mixed.

      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!
