I am from Raleigh, NC and I am getting my band on January 8th at 8am. I have to start my pre-op diet just two days before my surgery. Good luck and Merry Christmas to everyone. Keep us updated on your progress. I will try on my end.

I'm getting done jan 2/09 and started my pre-op diet 5 days ago - it hard, hard, hard. I have been doing ok until today. I don't know how I'm going to make it til my surgery with only eating 600 calories a day. I'm scared I'm going to fail.

January 13th seems to be a lucky day. My surgery is scheduled for the 13th at 7:30 by Dr. Floch in CT. It's been a long six months. Although I'm a little nervous about my liquid diet.< /p>

      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!
