Down 8.6 lbs from last visit 4wks ago and 36 lbs since 2 wks before surgery. Woohoo!

Dr put in 3cc in my empty band and said most times green zone is between 4 cc & 7.5cc.

He said," You are doing very well with the weight loss and I know it's more you then the band". "Pretty soon, the band will do more for you"." Only liquids for 24hrs".

He also said for me to listen to my shoulder pain and stop eating, when it hurts.

Cheryl, you were right about the nerve thing. I knew you were all along, but having my Dr confirm it just makes it even better.

As well as she's doing, she might never need one! If she does, we can go hold her hand or slap the crap out of her, whatever it takes!

      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!
