New to group out of California, surgery set for 8/22



Recommended Posts

New to this group and just started my two week pre op diet. Feeling good so far and looking forward to the surgery date. I previously had the lap band from 2009 - 2017 when I had it removed due to the port flipping 3 times on me. You all got this and it will be worth it at the end.

Congrats! I get my sleeve on the 16th. 2 days!!! I wish you well with this one. Where in California? I'm here also. Live in Los Angeles but getting my surgery done in fountain Valley it's a long drive but worth it! I really like my dr. And my surgery coordinator.....The Best ever! She's made me feel so good about doing this. This medical group is great. And the hospital staff I've talked with are too!

Thank you!! I’m in La Mirada and having my surgery in Orange. I had my lapband back in 2009 in Fountain Valley at Orange Coast. I had the band removed due to port flipping 3 times.
I’m doing fairly well with my liquid diet and counting down for the 22nd.
Wish you the best and a speedy recovery after surgery.

Is that at Fountain Valley Regional Medical Center? That's where I'm going. In fountain Valley. Never been there before this. But I really like what I see in my Dr and staff. My insurance group sent me there. I was just happy they'd pay. I've been wanting this for years but didn't think it a possibility. I'm so incredibly thankful! Good luck! :)

      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!
