Site Newbie & 7/18 Band Date



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled to get banded on 7/18 at 10am.

I am having a wide range of emotions right now. Excitement, nervousness, anxiousness, happiness, and a small bit of sadness.

I'm determined to follow all the exact guidelines so that I can be success story and fully experience all the positive effects of the band.

Wish me luck and I will be checking in this site...often!

Is this prep op or post op?? My doctor doesn't required a pre op diet, I had to do 2 weeks liquid after surgery and 1 week mushy foods and then introduce solids little by little! All depends on the doctor!

I didn't have to do a 2 week pre-op liquid diet either. All that is recommended is Clear Liquids the day before surgery. So I guess tomorrow I'll be drinking Crystal Light and Water & eating a light lunch/dinner....like salmon

      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'. ???

      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!
