This Is My Month To Get Banded



Recommended Posts

Just got back from the doc and it looks like I can't get banded until October, their schedule until then is full :(

It's ok, it will be worth the weight (pun intended)

Mara...

Ask them to put you on the call list. A lot of surgeries get canceled at the last minute because things are missing or bad labs, etc.

It's ALWAYS worth a shot!

I am so jealous that you are all so early in the month!

I get a little nervous saying it's "next month," but then when I say "47 days" I wanna cry b/c it feels like forever!!

Hi. I found out Fri. that I have been approved. My surgery date is Sept. 6th.

All my appointments/tests are done except for losing 10 pounds which is what my surgeon requires. So far I have lost 7 pounds and am hoping to get the last few off by Sept.

Right now I feel such a tangle of emotions that it is pretty overwhelming!

Glad to find a group of people going through the same thing.

      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!
