When I had the band I always knew I could reverse it with an unfill, it seemed like I always had an escape plan. I never used it that way but it was nice to know that if one day I wanted out and to eat whatever I wanted that it was there. Unfortunately, my band had an out plan too and decided it didn't want to hang out anymore. 1 year later and with all the 160lbs I lost back I am 1 week post op on the RNY and having the same mental issues as you. It was really bad the first day or two when I could barely get down a medicine cup of Water and then thinking that it will be like this forever no escape plan. I feel better mentally each day and now that I am on pureed food it is really better. I am still stuggling with the mental part of eating and portion sizes but overall I feel good.

      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.

      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!
