Hello,

I am getting banded January 13th by Dr. Garcia in Allentown PA. I currently weigh 250lbs and my goal weight is 180lbs (for now).

Currently my Dr put me on a pre-op diet for 7 days, I am only on my first day and that was because we did not here back from my insurance company till yesterday. I am very excited and can not wait to see the results. i have been overweight since I was a child.

I am scheduled for January 21st!!! I can't believe I finally have a date. I go Friday for my pre op testing so I guess I will be told then about my pre op diet.

Congrats to both of you. This Pre-op diet thing is not very easy. I dont have hunger pains but i am hungry and want to eat. it dont help smelling foods when people at work a making food for lunch. I pre made my dinners for my family here at home so I did not have to smell or look at the food.

      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!
