Welcome to the pumpkin Patch!!!:rolleyes2: We are smashing pumpkins around here. That is fast! I hope times flies for all of us before our surgery. I am still trying to learn as much as I can. There are some good books out there too. I love these boards. I wish I could spend the whole day on them!

Does your birthday have to be in October or just your surgery date? My surgery date is October 3 but my birthday is in November. I have less than a week now before I am banded. I am soooooooooooo excited.

Thanks Bridgette. It seems like time is slowly passing by. Next Friday is the big day. I have already got all my Vitamins and the food I need after surgery. I have a bag packed just in case I have to stay over night. But I am optomistic, I'll do fine and I will be able to come home the same day. I have been doing everything I am suppose to, to get rid of the "liver fat". I can't wait to get rid of "ALL" the fat. I have been on my pre-op diet for a week now and I have already lost 8 lbs.

Well, it's Saturday and I have chores to do. I'm trying to get the house all clean, so I won't have to worry about next week and after surgery.

      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!
