Best wishes to you Lauren! It's going to be great.

Can't believe I had my surgery just over a month ago. Your feelings are all understandable. I had the same myself. They told me I went into surgery with a smile and woke up with a smile. Told them it was because I was starting a new life!!

Speedy recovery to you!

I will give you the same wish I wish for all lapband patients - may you feel restriction from day 1!! (And of course all that other stuff about a speedy, relatively pain-free recovery, yada yada yada!!) But let's face it - restriction is where it's at! :o

You are smart to be the first surgery of the day. I had mine at 7:30 too and they told me later that my surgery went faster than expected and they did not have the next person ready. I wish you smooth sailing, quick recovery and best wishes as you begin your new life. Hugs and best wishes -- you are going to be fine!!!!!

      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!
