Hi all! I'm less than a week from surgery(jan 28) and I'm starting to get nervous. This has been a two year journey and finally it's here! I'm excited but scared! Anyone else feel or felt like this?

Definately! I could've written that 2 months ago when I was banded (nov 28). I guess it's the fear of the unknown. I can honestly say that it's full steam ahead for me. You have an exciting new life ahead of you, enjoy the journey.

I just wrote a quote on my Facebook that said..."A good goal should SCARE you a little and EXCITE you alot." This is my mantra for my surgery that is scheduled for Feb 7th!! Good luck!

Spaness, I LOVE that quote, totally stealing. Thank you. LOL.

asr2468, Yes, when I was banded I was scared out of my mind. But I could no longer live the way I was living and be happy. I was so off track with my life it wasn't funny. For me, getting the band was the only way I wanted to keep on living.

I am becoming more nervous by the day! I am scheduled for 1/31 and I can't believe I am taking this step. I am so nervous I won't succeed because I have failed every other diet, but the doctor and everyone at the support group has been great.

Scared + Nervous = NORMAL! You will do great. We all felt that way, but I have never regretted the decision!

      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!
