So after 6 months of classes, but years of my doc telling me I needed to something it's 3 days away.

I am so nervous. Can I do this. Will I know what to do. Oh boy. I am in the health profession so I know the things that can go wrong.

With any procedure there is a risk, but no risk means no reward. If you want the best results follow the rules, simple as that. Of course there is always still a chance for problems but they will be greatly reduced if you are do as you are told. Keep talking to people in our community online, or at a local support group. Read blogs. Make time to put yourself first. You will be glad you did =)

Best wishes to you! I am a little jittery but I keep thinking about how I can't continue like this without really compromising my life. Apnea, high BP, arthritis.... I am in my fifties and want to have a healthy, happy future.

Hello, I just had my lab band surgery on Tuesday. I'm feeling much better but still have pain in my chest. It feels like I need to burp. Does anybody know how long this pain can last?

      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!
