Hi!

Just found this site and especially hoping to hear from banders in Central VA. Would love the procedure and am just beginning my research. I'm scared, ashamed, nervous, short on funds, roller coaster of emotions...maybe you know the story. Would love to hear from you! Take care!!! sami

WELCOME! What I noticed when I first came here about a year ago is that anything I have gone through, so have many people on this site. I learned I am not alone but actually the opposite. You've come to the right place.

Welcome Sami

Gosh, I think we have ALL been there! but for me I just battled through and I have never regretted the decision I made to have lapband surgery...it has been challenging at times...working through my own mind barriers has been the hardest thing. but slowly but surely I am breaking through. This is a great place for info, advise even just a supportive clap or pat on the back so you have come to the right place...I am looking forward to keeping updated on your progress...so dont be a stranger now! you are 'home' here.

      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!
