Oooh, good point! Who ARE you people? Lol

I live in philly (USA) and am a therapist (mental health). I'm scheduled for surgery on tuesday, and I'm super nervous! Gathering information eases my anxiety, so I've been compulsively reading this site, making lists and watching youtube videos for the past couple of months!

Well Maybebanding since you are a therapist you must know what all our problems are!!!

I'm Mattie! , I live in Southern IL and own a medical billing service. (I used to bill for the mental health folks too!) I decided to go to a lapband seminar and the next thing I know I had the procedure done a week and half later. My insurance requires the supervised diet now in 2011 so the office rush rush rushed me in. I'm finding a lot

of things on this forum I wish I knew before I made my decision. Good to meet you!

      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!
