Wooohooo! Congrats!! I'm getting banded on the 2nd, it does make you pretty nervous knowing that you have a date and it's really happening... I've been just reading these forums like crazy, going over a lot of the old posts and finding more questions that I'd like answered. It's nice to feel really prepared, and it has helped me to calm down a little.

I just got my date August 22nd. I too am scared but ready to do something for myself. I am new to chatting but it is so good to be to talk to others going through the same thing.

 

Good luck to both of you. Please keep posting so we can track each others progress.

I think I will be a late August date also. Will know for sure this Friday. I'm very excited yet concerned of the liquid diet that is coming my way. Nutritionist wants me to start now on two Protein Shakes per day to prepare myself. Good advice. Will buy some tomorrow.

The liquid diet won't be so long for me according to my doctor. Worried about it though. I won't see my nutritionist until July 31st.

 

I wish the time would go faster. I just want to get it done.

      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!
