Hello everyone!! I have been a lurker here for a couple of weeks but as of Monday I now have a surgery date and everything is all set to go so I thought I would introduce myself.

I am 29 and am I a kiwi chick! I had my first pre op consult on Monday thinking they would just go through the procedure and give me a surgery date about 12 weeks or so in the future but no - my surgery is scheduled for two weeks away - 9 August!!! I am so scared and excited all at the same time, it just seems to be happening so fast. Tomorrow I start my two week pre op diet - just got to keep telling myself only two weeks, had my last supper tonight and all ready for tomorrow.

Anyway enough rambling, I have been so motivated (and sometimes a bit freaked) by other stories I have read here and can't wait to become one of the banded ones!!! :whoo:

Just remember most of us on here have had it done so you can do it too. Drink lots of Protein and that will help (or it did for me) you hunger. I drank 3-4 a day whether it was the drinks or the Soups. ood luck you will be so glad you did this.

      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!
