K u guys, Im really starting to freak out......nerves nerves more nerves........breath anna breath.....its gonna be ok, right. I am so scared that I will end up like Kathy (u know i luv u girl). Ohhh and she has been such a trooper through this whole thing. I mean I see her posts now and shes like, "yep Im on mushies and didnt even think of going off my liquids cause I couldnt hardly drink Water for like two weeks." Ohhhh if I had what happend to her happen to me I would cry so much. I cant do that. It sounds worse than labor u guys!! and now poor poor guitar man too?! and what about Johnathan? Remember what happend to him? I know I weighed out the risks and benifets b4 I made my decision, So y am I doubting myself???? I can do this right? Y am I so scared all of a sudden?

Aw Bandit! u know i luv u 2, girl! and i wouldn't let you go if it were that God-awful! I had a really rough first week and a half but it is really getting better. I had my Prilosec with a few ounces of Boost this am, and some coffee, and I had a can of Lentil Soup for lunch, well chewed, but it all went down fine. And I'm a trooper because I have to be! And you will be too if needed!

You can do this. It IS a risk, but you are forgetting all the others from April who have gone and come back and are eating like horses and doing just fine!

There are, what? maybe 50 people who got banded in April alone and 3 of us had a bit of trouble; me, guitarman, katterz, and jonathan was banded in Feb I think. So, statistically, your chances of being a May problem child are low!

Be scared, it's surgery! but I know you can do this and you have lots of support here, so don't fret for long.

I was a chicken and gave someone here my home phone number, in case something happened and she could call my hubby, just in case I didn't post when I "got back". How nervous is THAT?

My bet, you'll sail through just fine and be a great bandster!!! Chin up!

PLUS! You are getting banded on my 40th Birthday! It's a GOOD sign!

      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!
