So after my last banding fiasaco 2 weeks ago I got my new surgery date. 8/2/2010. I hope that there are no problems this time and everything goes off without a hitch! I guess now I am a August Bandster! Anyone else out there?? :smile2:

Good luck to you! I read what happened last time and lightening can't strike twice in the same spot, can it?! I hope not, that would suck bigtime and I would take that as a HUGE sign from the man upstairs that you aren't supposed to have the LB!!!

I could be an August bandster, not sure yet!

Congrats on your date! You're one up on me!

Thanks for the support. I have a great surgeon and the office staff is great too! My Dr assures me that I will get my band with the next surgery. The only reason why they could not band me the last time is to make sure that the band did not cause an infection. I have faith that everything will turn out great! Right?

I am glad to hear that we will start to change our lives in the same month. Good Luck!!

THANKS!

I think a lot can happen with a positive attitude and it sounds like you have one! So, YES! It will work out great!! It does sound like you have a decent doctor who listened to his better judgement and decided not to risk infection. Some doctors may have gone ahead anyway, kwim?!

If we're not August band-buds, then I hope we're at least summer band-buds!

      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!
