Hi Catherine and welcome! I am still somewhat new here myself. My surgery is set for Sept 10th.. and the excitement and nervousness are starting to kick in. Have you started your pre op diet yet? I started mine last Friday.. missing food but so far so good!

Welcome!! I am about a month out of being banded and i must say the best thing i ever did!! You will be nervous prior to the surgery but from my own experience the surgery was a piece of cake. you will feel discomfort from the air that gets into your abdomen and that is probably the worst of it. The incisions didnt hurt that bad. I didnt even take the pain meds and i am a big baby when it comes to stuff like this lol. In fact I was at my sons football practice the next day. You will be tired from not having any Protein but it comes and go's. Good luck!!!!

      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!
