Just wanted to send an update. I went to see Dr Spivak....I'm scheduled for August 29th!!!:whoo: I can't believe it. I could have done it earlier, but I want to make sure I have everything finished at the office and around the house. Not to mention a baby shower on the 25th...I just can't see eating at a baby shower with a brand new band. what kind of notes were yu wanting me to take? I didn't see that before I left for Houston today. I can fill you in on what we learned if you want.

Congrats!!

I used Spivak as well and am really happy with my band. I drive 5 hours to go see him for fills since I live north of Dallas, but I think he's worth it. I researched lots of docs before hand and I liked him the best for the distance I was willing to travel. The staff there are great and so helpful. I call when I have concerns or questions (and I use LBT a LOT).

Hugs!

      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!
