Hello and nice to meet everyone. I haven't even scheduled my surgery get I am just doing research and finding out some general information. I have got approved by my insurance company and just waiting for my appointment with the doctor that will do my surgery. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. How long did it take you guys to have a date for surgery after your first initial appointment? I would love any help or advance you could give me would be greatly appreciated. :crying:

hey Jayna79.. my doctor made me a tentative apt which means you can cancel at any time.. it was done on my first visit.. i already had spoken to my pcp about the lapband.. and i went for most of the test. Always do your research, and pick a doctor that is highly recommended. Remember, you are putting your life in his hands ;-)

      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!
