Are you Kidding Me?



Recommended Posts

I finally get the call from the doctors office and they scheduled me for August 3! That seems like forever away, and I'm ready NOW! Apparently the surgeon will be out from the 13th of July on, what nerve of him to take a 3 week vacation! (just kidding of coarse) I just really wanted to be banded by the end of July, I don't know how some of you have waited so long for approval, I would be pulling my hair out!

Wow, how frustrating. How long did it take you to finally get a date? Of course, look at this way, the surgeon should be fully rested when he performs your surgery. Aug 3rd will be here bf you know it. Hang in there! :eek:

Congrats on getting a date! Use the time to practice eating the "right" way now. I'm excited for you!

Who knows...maybe your doc will be playing video games on his vacation. I heard something about docs that do that are good with hand/eye coordination...makes a better surgeon?

wanabthin, congrats on your date! You are so lucky to have things move forward with such speed. I went to my first seminar in May and I will have to wait a year before I get a date! And yes, I am pulling my hair out! Best of Luck to you.

It'll fly by! It's only a month away! Use this time to start practicing the bandster rules. Small bites, chew well, eat slow and NO DRINKING WITH MEALS.

      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!
