I finally had my lapband done on April 29th. I started the process in October of last year. It was done in Scottsbluff, Nebraska by Dr. Forney and Dr. Holloway. I expected it to be a month or so after I was finally appproved but they scheduled me 2 1/2 weeks later. I was a little stunned, happy and nervous all at the same time. This first week has been very interesting, but I am very happy I got it done.

Hi, David and welcome to LBT! Congratulations on getting your band and on your great start with the weightloss. You are off to an excellent start! I am still pre-op for another 3 weeks, so I can't answer your question about that icky feeling, but I do hope you get to feeling better soon!

I managed to make it home on Sunday. Rested yesterday and back to work today. Working seems to take my mind off how bad I feel. Still hurts more than I think it should but it is manageable. Lots of gas pains too. I am going to try and keep plugging away at work.

      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!
