Hi everyone! I'm new here. I recently decided that weight loss surgery is the best choice for me. In my Quest in finding as much as info as possible I came across this forum. Everyone seems so nice and positive as well as full of information.

I recently contacted a surgeon who mailed me a questionerre I had to fill out and they will contact me with an appointment once the doctor has looked over my info. It feels like its taking forever! I just want to get the ball rolling.

I look forward to hearing everyone's story.

Hi ladies, You're right about this forum, a lot of good people with great advice. MIS73 being one of them.

I'm at the end of my 6mths insurance required diet and hope to be banded in Sept. Been following LBT all that time and feel I have gotten a great education. Good Luck!

Welcome! I'm new too! Today is the first day of my Pre-Op Diet and I am feeling hopeful! Also, check out Missy's profile who posted right above me! VERY inspirational! She has lost 136 pounds since January! OMGooooodness......That is AwEsOmE!!

I've "met" some really wonderful and insightful people on this website - I'm very grateful for their inspiration and encouragement and I have set an intention to be as much of a blessing to others, as I learn and experience more and am able to share any words of wisdom. As of right now, I'm sorta in Kindergarten (lol) :P

      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!

        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!
