I'm sure all of us are scared, to varying degrees. I am looking forward to life after banding, but it's the surgery that I'm dwelling on at the moment. Even laproscopic surgeries can develop complications. I'm trying to put those feelings in the back of my mind and just look forward to the future.

I started this journey on Sept.17. I started trying to lose at that point. Now ,I finally have my date .

I was starting to get a little scared, but then I looked at myself in the mirror and saw me 18 pounds lighter than I was two months ago. I have been getting ready for this and I AM GOING to finally be able to keep that weight off. If I can be this happy after only 18 pounds gone , I can only imagine how happy it will make me feel to lose a lot more.

:whoo:. I am sooo glad to be able to join in your happiness. :clap2:

When I got my date 6 weeks ago, my first thought was great, fantastic, lets go. But as I started to think about it, I also started to feel scared and ask myself what was I doing.

Don't worry, all the thoughts you are having are normal. This is a big step to take for anyone and especially when it will have so many life changing effects. Just remember the reasons you are doing this.

If it helps start a journal, or even better, a blog. It helps to write down your thoughts to keep your head straight and to remember your reasons for doing this. I have a blog and the encouragement I now get from friends who read it is wonderful.

My blog address is below if you want to have a read and you'll see that you aren't alone.

      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.

        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!
