I've been searching high and low for the December bandsters. I am new to the Lab band Discussions, however I am loving being apart of it. I go on the 29th of November to get my exact surgery date. Im more than sure its going to be in December, because my doctor and I agreed that this would be the best time since I'm in Nursing school and it can be done over Christmas break. Please keep in touch with me I need all the support I can possibly get

Thanks In advance Evathenurse

I too will be getting my band in December....on the 8th. I am excited and scared/nervous.....but I really believe that it will be worth all the pain in the end. My surgery will be in Salt Lake City Utah, by Dr. McKinlay. I will do all my pre op stuff Dec 6th. My doc has still not given me a pre op diet...are you guys on Clear Liquids for a week or something different?

Hi all,

I'm December 11th, BIDMC in Boston MA, Dr. Jones. I don't have any preop diet to follow but I'm living on a constant diet of thoughts like"OMG what am I doing, is this really gonna happen, what did I get myself into!" I'm sure the thrilled and excited feelings will come later, but for now I just can't wrap my mind around the fact that this is really going to happen and that in a few short weeks my life will be very different.

Anyone else on a roller coaster of disbelief that you are acutally doing this? How are you all feeling?

Good luck to all, can't wait to follow how we all are progressing on the other side!

      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!
