Lurker coming out- Surgery on 1 April



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone.. I've been lurking on lapbandtalk for quite a while and joined last year.. I thought I'd finally come out and just say Hi. I've been through several months of getting ready for this (since August 2010) and have gotten approval and a surgery date. I've gotten invaluable information from this site, and hope to be more active on here now. I have a very busy life with 2 teens, a pre-teen and a disabled husband.

Have a great day everyone! :D

Hey! I bet you're nervous and excited huh? I know I am... this diet is kicking my butt! I ended up "cheating" somewhat yesterday, although my doctor said that the first week of the diet I can supplement with a high protein/low carb/fat meal here and there. I still felt guilty and it didn't taste good.

Hello and Welcome. I too am a long time lurker and only recently introduced myself. My surgery is set for April 6th. At first I was very excited, but now with just under 2 weeks to go...I am very very very nervous.

I'm definitely nervous and excited. I'm sure as it gets closer I'll be more nervous. Good luck with the diet...you're almost there!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
