Hey! You're getting banded the same days as me. I also have a pre-op diet but it's only for 1 week, not two. I definitely get what you mean by emotions being all over the place. It's very exciting but defniitely nerve-wracking too. :thumbup:

I totally know what you guys mean, i was a MESS!!! All I can say is that you will be fine and come out the otherside wondering what all the fuss was about! :drool:

I kept motivated and excited by looking at all the success stories on the site and all the photos under the photo tab - just reinforcing that it's worth the hard work of the pre-op diet and the jitters and that a wonderful life lies ahead!! xx

The 27th for me too! I'm completely excited, I haven't had the nervous part yet. That will happen the day of surgery I'm sure. My pre-op appt is on the 17th but I called to ask about pre-op diets etc. They said the only thing I have to do is not eat or drink after midnight the night before. I think I will voluntarily do liquids beforehand jic.

16 more days!

      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!
