I think you will find it much simplier than you're expecting. I had a great experience at Reading Hospital - was in and home within 6 hours and that was with an hour delay. I was ready to go home too - not pushed out the door. Keep in touch - I'd love to know how you're doing throughout the journey!

I had my surgery I'm in some pain, but nothing too dramatic. It's going to take some getting used to that's for sure. Do you have Facebook? I would definitely like to stay in contact with a fellow bander

I Truly wish I was having luck with my band. I just can't seem to lose weight. I finally have where I am not throwing up all the time but now I can't lose the weight. So devastated Ceppa wants to do the sleeve but I am scared.

When did u get banded? Are you comfortable with Dr. Ceppa? I have been so far - but of course I'm not facing another surgery. Think it through - and do what is best for you. You have much to think about!

      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!
