Hi Belinda! Welcome to LBT! :thumbup:

You know, sometimes the waiting is the hardest part. Who's doing your surgery?

I have an appointment with Dr. Simpson tomorrow. I went to a recent seminar and was very impressed by him. Any regrets Bigdog? What can you tell me about your experience? Anything unexpected happen?

Thanks!

Hey, Big! Glad to see you found your way over here. I see you lost 30 years since you were banded--just kidding, you're showing up as age 11 here on your profile.

Hope you are still doing well and recuperating well from the surgery. I was sore for a few days and had a bit of trouble getting up out of a chair, but it faded quickly.

How are you feeling? I was banded a little over a month ago. It really is easier than I had thought. I was really tired for a good two weeks. Took naps everyday to make it through the day.

Hi everyone,

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back with you. I just weighed my self and since I came off all food restriction i have gained 7 pounds. Sucks. Does anyone know how long you have to wait before you get your first fill.

      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!
