Banding In November 2012...



Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

Anyone getting banded in November? I am going in on the 7 November, and starting to get everything together for my big day :) - anyone going in there, to share the journey with?

Any advice, or ideas on how to make the first two weeks bearable would be great and welcomed!

Wish me luck!

That's great that we are all getting it done in the same week - we might have to be pen pals in the first couple of weeks, and let each other know how we are all doing. I am nervous and my dr hasn't given me any pre op diet, just only liquids the day before. The post op is stricter though. I am so excited, I really feel that this is going to be the drastic change I need, otherwise it will just grow and gro and grow. No thanks!

Good luck to all of 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.

        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!
