I'm only 4 months post op and I would NOT go back to where I was for anything. The first few days I had my doubts, but none at all now.

Stick out these first few weeks, it will get better.

Hey there I was banded on 10/27/2008 and to be honest with in the first week I was the same wondering what I had just done. To be honest now I would do it a million times over as of 11/7/08 I am down 52lbs and I cant wait to go on my great journy. Just remember why you went into it, its like all new Quest its always scary. Just keep up with it its will be great!!!

Buyer's Remorse seems to be pretty common right after the surgery. It makes sense - they put you on a liquid diet, you lose weight which makes you feel good, then BAM! they rip you open in the middle! I had second thoughts for the 1st couple of days. I am now 4 months out and even with a port infection it has been the best thing I could have even done.

      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!
