I am starting to get nervous about my upcoming banding. I start my Pre opp diet next friday. It will two weeks of Opti fast then have surgery on July 6. I am thinking if I am doing the right thing. Deep down I know I am and my hubby is being very supportive and only want me to be happy and healhy. Any one else get nervous a couple of weeks out.

Many people have posted they are nervous and some want to bail. I wasn't nervous because I knew this was the only avenue left for me to be what I wanted to be. if you're sure, there is no doubt. If you think you have other ways to lose weight, maybe you should try those first?

But, if you've tried them(most of us have), make that commitment and erase all doubts.

i am getting banded july 6th too. i don't know what to expect and i have never had surgery so that part makes me nervous. i just hope it works. i have faith it will based on this forum and all the success stories, but still it crosses my mind that i won't lose weight. i am sure i will be more nervous as it gets closer. right now i'm kind of just trying to preoccupy my mind and prepare..

I'm due for surgery July 5th and I feel the same way. I'm so excited but also the knowledge and tiny fear about adjustments physically and emotionally...but the reasons to have it far outweigh my fears...but acknowledging them is a good thing I think?

      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!
