I go in tomorrow for my band and I haven't had a full nite sleep since last Friday.

I know that feeling! I tried to put myself to sleep with Tylenol PM and the chicken Soup Protein mix by Unjury today. . . It didn't work! Lol I just can't wait. . . I am so ready for this journey!

Good luck to you! After 4 months of following this forum and 1 cancelled surgery I met with my anesthetist this morning. No issues! My surgery is scheduled this Friday 16 Nov at 0800 Pacific time. I too am very nervous and anxious but I can't wait!

Well day two of fourteen liquid only. When this is over I may never drink a shake again. I am allowed three shakes a day with skim milk and 1 cup of broth to cut sweetness lol dosen't work that well. Get scoped this Friday and meet anesthesiologist then the 25th is dday. I have talked to several Co workers that have had this and are doing great they really cheered me up and made me feel i made the right choice. 1 friend lost 175 pounds which is kind of my goal and he gave me a lot of pointers. Thank God for that. For the first time in a while I really feel like I am making the right choice and I am very excited now. I was looking at pictures of myself back in the day and I can't wait to look like that again come on 180. Good luck to us all I'm praying for everyone!

I have been absent … imagine my shock to see nearly 400 posts! Wow!

I had some setbacks w/ pre-op testing.

Just my luck, a very ambitious doctor threw me through every test imaginable and I just NOW got clearance for my Lap! Yeah!

I will find out in a few days what my surgery date will be, but I now know that I will not be on the November 'band'wagon … soooo I guess I need to start something for December! LOL! My surgery date will possibly be the 18th … I hope … we shall see!

So how are all of you doing!?!? I have a lot of reading to catch up on! :)

Most of us on this particular thread are PRE-OP. . .so we can't sleep because we are filled with anticipation of being on the other side of the surgery. . . We want to be like you, "already banded"! Lol

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
