May seems to be a very popular month! Do you think the surgery is gaining approval or more people are hearing about it? I was at the hospital getting my Pre-Op done and there was a story on CNN on the tv in the waiting room about the lap band. I wanted to scream- "hey, that is what I am here for", but I stopped myself!:lol:

Hi, I'm May 7 and I'm on the 2 week liquid preop. Everyone said your not hungry after day 3. They are wrong, but I'm getting through. As it gets close I'm getting a little nervous.

I will get my band on May 13. I start my liquid diet on Tuesday. I've been lurking for the past month or so, just reading everything I can.

I'm also scared, excited, nervous all wrapped up into my 5 ft tall size.. :lol:

Hi

I have my PreOp lab work done on the 4th and surgery the next day. I have one concern--"I don't want to fail in losing weight one more time." I feel like this LB Forum will be such a help. I wasn't put on any diet pre surgery by my Dr. My Insur. has a Nurse you can call and she gives advice to Bariatric patients. She told me to cut down on portion size and drink lots of liquids.

Oh, and I got a Happy Birthday Wish Today from The Forum--Thank You dicev

      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!
