HI TRACY! I thought your surgery was this week. Congratulations! Please let us know how you are doing. I appealed Horizon BC BS of NJ regarding the 6 month diet. Sometimes being a pack rat pays off. I had a lot of documentation from a lot of the diets I was on. I also sent them 20 pages of Jenny Craig notes. All total I sent the 47 pages! I must have backed up their fax for an hour. They reversed the decision yesterday. Now I am just trying to get my surgery date. Good luck and best wishes to you as you start your journey to good health,

Good luck on your surgery tommorow!!:biggrin:

surgery yesterday suppose to be at 11.30 ended up at 2.00 left surgery center at 4.00... really sore but functioning. My doctor started me with a feel but the Water wouldn't go down. so had to take it all out.. He said he might re add it at 2 week appointment.

The nurse told my doctor when I drink I have to stay sitting up for an hour I am dehydrated and drink and fall asleep I can sleep on my right side but I cant stay awake an hour after every sip... I will never rest.

Looking forward to feeling better...

Congratulations, and Welcome to Bandland!!:cursing:

I didn't get my 1st fill untill 8 weeks after surgery. My Dr said this was the healing time for my tummy and band.

It will get better, just try and keep hydrated. Maybe some warm broth will help.

      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!
