Just found out my surgery is Monday, March 23!!!!



Recommended Posts

I just met with my doctor for the pre op visit. I was thinking that surgery would be in 2-3 weeks but he had a cancelation on Monday and can put me in that slot. I have to do a liquid diet starting tomorrow and report at 10:30 on Monday morning. My surgery will be at 1 pm. Very excited. I started my lapband journey in August 08 when I attended the seminar, did the 6 month diet and got my approval from insurance on March 9th.

Lap band surgery scheduled: 3-23-09!!!!!!!!

Lost - 16 lbs 6 month diet

      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!
