Recommended Posts

I'm finally going to be banded in a couple weeks!! I'm currently doing the pre op diet and with a little help from the Lord will meet my 10% weight loss requirement. Any advice help, or how much you all lost during pre op diet would be great

Congratulations! You will do well on your pre-op just stick to the instructions that your Dr. gave you and you should lose the required weight. I lost about 15 pounds on my pre-op and my husband lost 18.

My 10% is 26 pounds and she is determined that I can loose that much. I'm having a hard time, 12 more days to go! I'm very excited too Barb. I hope and pray the next 12 days go by very quickly.

I had to lose 5 percent during a 6 month supervised Drs visit, I lost considrably more, Than that, during the pre op diet I lost 18 pounds. I lost a total of 80lbs by the time I had my surgery but holding steady now and waiting for my 1st fill.

      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!
