:cry I'm just one of those people that have to know Exactly what's going on anytime I have any sort of Surgery done. I found this Web-Cast from Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston of the Lap-Band Surgery. I found watching things that will happen to me rather Facinating. But proceed with **Caution** it's not for everybody. barf.gif

All I can say is WOW..... that was so informative, I called my fiance upstairs to watch it because he wasn't too sure about me having the procedure. Now we both had a chance to see exactly what happens and he is feeling better about it. Everyone considering this surgery should watch this. Thanks a million for posting the link.:clap2:

      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!
