Hi there!

My name is Shane... I am 29 years old and I am taking charge of my life. I have decided to have the lap band and after rigorous months of pre-opt stuff... I have a date on July 14th with a surgeon to do my surgery. I am super excited.:biggrin:

Congratulations!!!

Im 27 and had my surgery 5 months ago. It was seriously the BEST decision I have ever made in my life. I am so happy and full of energy! I have lost 80 since surgery. Are you on any type of pre-surgery diet?

Hey Shonda... Dr. Nease is doing my surgery as well. I see him the week of the 9th and 11th right before my surgery.

Yes... I am diabetic... so I have to watch carbs. That is one of the reasons why I am having this surgery. I also have arthritis and fatty liver disease. Which... all of it will correct itself once I have this surgery and lose the weight. :lol:

My appt for next week has been rescheduled due to the Dr. being out of town. A little upsetting. I will see him on the 27th. Since I am private pay I hope to get a surgery date shortly thereafter. Good luck with your journey and let me know how things are progressing.

Shonda

      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!
