Recommended Posts

My pre-op appointment is next week although I won't be banded until July 30th. What should I expect? Blood tests? ultrasounds? chest x-rays?

Hi there,

I also have my pre-op class July 11th & am getting banded July 25th. I would love to know more also about the pre-op. All I do know is I will be getting my scripts to fill and have ready after surgery. The office said I will be having lab work done too. I'm just not sure yet what that entails yet. I'm sure some of these wonderful people on this site will share what their experiences may have been. Though I'm sure it all differs just a bit.

So are you excited, getting nervous? I can't wait!! Eekk (my online girl scream) lol

Trying to keep it light :)

I am not getting the plication. We actually didn't discuss that, but I didn't really know to ask about it either in the beginning. I think I'm just going for the good ol' band :) I'm sure its all going to go well. It's just the anticipation to the lead up I think. I'm trying to be aware and read a lot online. But I'm staying away from the negative feedback & stories. I want to do this with the most positive outlook possible, I don't want to plant seeds in my head of other peoples horror stories & ruminate on them. I'm just excited to be on the flipside (recovery) How about you?

      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.

      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!
