Almost there...any CT or August 2009 Bandsters?



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I'm scheduled to be banded in August. I'm so happy that I found this site...everyone seems so great and supportive. Any advice would be great! Are there any other August 2009 or Connecticut Bandsters out there?

Hi Jen and welcome.

Take a look around, if there isn't already an August thread going, you could start one.

Also, take a look at the regional postings for your state, you'll probably find someone close to you.

All the best with this exciting new chapter in your life!!

Hey Jen, my surgery is scheduled for 8/31/09. I spend hours (recently) reading e/t I can on this site. I've learned sooo much. I've never blogged before, but I wish you would start an August thread-that way we can all keep each other posted on our progress and give support.

      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!
