Hello everyone! My name is LaToya and I am new to these forums.

I am currently in the process of getting the gastric band, I have my 1st appointment with my surgeon tomorrow.

I am both nervous and excited.

I am mainly interested in meeting with the Dietitian because I am a very picky eater and want to make sure that I will be sucessful.

If you want to reply---please feel free to do so and add your stats soI can see how sucessful you have been.

Date of Surger, Begining Weight and Current Weight.

Can't wait to hear from everyone!

LaToya, I am also new, had my surgery in Florida September 9, no problems. Starting weight 215, today 203, Friday i will be one week. Some of the weight loss his from the preop diet. I feel great had some pain mostly my shoulder first few days but now i'm good. So excited to begin this journey, i was nervous also, but my dr is the best and he was there all the way. There will be sacrafices, but they are ones that i am willing to make. I am 53 years old, and i feel like i am just starting a new life! I will be here for what ever you need, it is great to have support through such important decisions that we make with our lives. Way to go and you are never alone!

      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!
