How about a show of support. It sort of feels like you have to be known or popular here to get responses. (Except for Donna, of course)

I am as nervous as I can be, and the waiting is killing me.

Stomach is just twitching and I have some fear of not waking up, getting an infection, etc.

I've been waiting for a long time to do this and now that it is here, I am questioning the decision. :think:confused:

I can't wait for it just to be over...

Good luck tomorrow! You will be just fine. You WILL wake up and then you will be on the losing side!

It is very normal to question your decision. I am 4 weeks post op and have absolutely no regrets.

You'll do great! I've been banded 8+ months, and it's the best decision I ever made. However, the day before surgery, I wasn't so sure...so take comfort in the fact that nearly everyone has doubts, that's completely normal!

Hang in there, and we'll see you tomorrow in BANDLAND! Welcome!

You will be just fine. I had my lap band surgery on Oct. 5th just one week and 4 days ago. I feel great and you will to. I was extremely nervous about the surgery. I just lost a family member in Sept. when he went in for surgery on his kidney, so I almost backed out. I would say, make sure you know everything you can about your surgeon. You will be fine and you will be glad you done it. I lost 10 pounds in the first 6 days after surgery. Not sure how much I've lost now. I don't even own a scale.

Best of luck to you on your journey!!!

      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!
