I am getting ready. My surgery is Tuesday March 6, 2012 @ 10 am. I can't believe it! When it was scheduled I thought it would take forever to get here but it didn't. I have done my shopping and have everything I need. I still need to pack a few things and then I am done. Lately I have had a few people try to talk me out of the lap band and into the RNY. I just tell them nicely, that they need to save their breath because the lap band is what I have chose and it is what I am sticking with. Me and my lap band are going to be a team! It is going to work for me and I am going to work for it! There's no stopping me now. Lookout world here I come.

Good luck to all of the others getting banded soon! Stay positive.

Thank you for replying! I will let you know how it went. Also how do I get a weight loss ticker? I tried in the past to get one but I couldn't get it to show on my posts. Any help would be awesome!

      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!
