Hello Everyone,

I'm into month 3 of all the APPT! I started the process in 2003 for the Gastric Bypass but my job changed insurance and didn't cover it!! Was very unhappy but what can you do? I guess everything happens for a reason. Gastric is so more then the band so I guess it was a good thing. I started a job in Sept. that covers the lap band.. boy did I hop on it!! lol Started going to Dr. appt and all the fun appts.. wow is it a lot! I was really hoping to have my surgery by the end of the year. But it's not going to happen. I'm trying not to let it disappoint me. I'm really excited about it, can't wait to get it done. I was trying not to take to much time off work (how much time did you all take off?). I do have to lift once a day but another staff member said they would help me out :). I'm starting at the weight of 290 in the year 2011 but really looking forward to seeing the pounds drop though out the year. I've been reading about protien shakes and have order OH Yeah, the bottles shakes(for work) contain more fat in them then the powder(from anyone that use this product did the fat matter it was high?)

If anyone has any advise for me let me know :)Thanks

      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!
