Hello everyone,

I am new to the process of lapband. My first appt. is tomorrow to find out what all I need to do. I know my insurance requires a 6 month diet and evals. However I'm sure they will tell me everything I need to know on what I need to do tomorrow. I would love to hear how things before and after surgery have went with others. I wished I didn't have to wait so long to have it done, it took me 2 years to make this decision.

hi and welcome to this site. i'm not sure if you have specific questions, but if you scower over these threads you will find tons of info. i was obsessed with this site a month before i was banded. you will see positive and negative things on here. my personal experience has had some of both, but coming upon my one year anniversary and meeting my goal of a size 12 in 11 months..i would do it again in a heart beat. feel free to PM me if you have specific questions...or check out my blog on here or on you tube..jennypoo6043.

best wishes to you!

Hello,

I am in the same position as you. I have my first appt. Tuesday and I just started (Last Month) my 6 month diet. I am very excited to get the surgery, but I hate the waiting. I have been considering this for about 4 years, I am now ready and willing, but the insurance has put the brakes on! I am so exicted to have found this site and read all the posts from everyone. Glad to hear your story and know I am not the only one in this position :)

      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!
