Hi Everyone,

I am being banded 9/23 by Dr. Newlin in Altoona, PA. They wanted it to be 9/9 but one of my best friends is getting married 9/13 and I was afraid I would miss the wedding.

Today I went to my nutrition meeting! They covered what to eat, when to eat, how to eat etc... They also covered on what to expect with the surgery!

I was surprised to find out they really don't have a pre-op diet so to speak, but the Dr. would like you to lose about 10 pounds. I want to make sure everything is ok so I opted to do a cross between powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and Optifast for Breakfast and lunch and then a healthy choice for dinner!

I also went to the hospital today and they did a UA, chest x-ray, ekg, bloodwork, weighed and measured me. They also gave me a bottle of magnesium citrate (for clean out) on Sunday before surgery:scared2:. They also gave me some soap to wash with the night before and then the morning after.

The good news I am the first one out in the morning. My surgery is scheduled for 7:30am. I also found out they give me a tummy Teddy Bear for coughing~:smile2:

It's really nice to see so many of us able to be sharing in the wonderful journey ahead! Good luck to all!

      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.

        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!
