Newbie! Surgery scheduled May 7th...so excited!



Recommended Posts

Hey there just wanted to say hi! I just went in for my consult yesterday and scheduled my surgery for May 7th. I have a BMI of 35 and weigh 217 pds. My goal is 145. Just a little about me I'm a 36 year old mother of 5 and currently live in Utah. I've had the lap band but due to complications had it taken out and gained my weight back and more within 6 months. Hopefully no serious complications with this one...fingers crossed. Good luck to those getting surgery as well!

      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'. ???

      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.

      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!
