Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I'm FINALLY getting banded this Friday! After 9 months of jumping thru hoops with my insurance, they finally approved my surgery! I'm so beyond excited! I'm nervous, believe me, but EXCITED! my only concern is I have to be back to work on Wednesday! Will that be enough time?

Congrats... may need to take it easy the first day, or call in with the flu. I think you will be fine, just tired easy, so go right home and rest!

Congrats! My insurance is making me do a 6 month counseling/nutrition class before they will approve me. I'm afraid they will give me the run around after the 6 month which is up in February 2013.

      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.

      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!
