Just got my phone call on Friday that I will be getting banded on Sept. 15th!!! I start the VLCD on Sept 1st which is worrying me, I've heard it is a struggle. I've made it through several addictions so I'm sure I can make it through two weeks of shakes. I even get a Low-Cal, Low-Carb, Low- Sugar snack in between the 3 "shakes".

They just said "The Atkins Diet"....As I remember that from years ago it was meat, poultry....some veggies, some cheese and that was about it :frown: NOTHING white was a biggie!.....:smile:

What I do NOT understand is that some people on this site and the 2 others I visit have no pre-op diet.....guess it depends on your Dr..........Here we go, girlfriend!...............

I am feeling very blessed because my insurance approved me in less than two weeks. I am scheduled for surgery on September 25, 2008. The one question I need answered is about how long are people off work? I need best and worst case scenario.

      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!
