Good luck and congrats on your upcoming surgery. I get banded on August 12, and I am also excited and nervous. Mostly excited now, but as the surgery date gets closer I'm probably going to get more nervous! I hope things go well for the both of us :)

I can't wait either...although I do not have a date for surgery yet...I'm still waiting on the insurance part of it. I'm trying to stay optimistic :). Good luck...let us know how you are doing after the surgery.

I was banded on Wed the 20th and my advice is just know that you are going to probably have a really bad 48hrs and then wake up feeling much better. My surgery went fine but I had loads of nausea after for about 4hrs and then just mega soreness at the incision sites. I was able to walk around with pain in the first two days but when I woke up on Friday, I felt like myself again! Now it's Sunday and I am pretty much back to myself. Yesterday I got up from the sofa and just popped up and forgot I had surgery.

So long story short, just tell yourself its ok to have some bad days and it really does get better!!!!laugh.gif

Good luck and you can do it!!!!

      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!
