Recommended Posts

:help: Hi bandsters. I am excited yet very nervous! MYSURGERY DATE IS SET FOR vALENTINES DAY. I wet for my PAT's today all should be fine for medical clearance my tomorrow. Dr did it as a stat order since it is due tomorrow. BUT I'm scared!!!! Not having 2nd thoughts but still scary. I want to lose more then 1-2 lbs a week, I am determined not to cheat and can't wait until I lose a little so I can exercise.

Anyone else scard out there? I will have surgery at Hackensack Medical Center in NJ with Dr Schmidt who is highly reccommended. His bedside manner was kind of boring at our initial consultation but I have heard others say he's so great. Please help me calm down.

Thanks

:( I just had mine done 1/05/06 and if I had to do it again tomorrow I would in a heartbeat. Good luck and calm those nerves just think about the end results. I know it is a scary process but once it is over you realize it wasn't all that bad.:D

      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.

      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!
