That's good. I've heard many say they are tired for a couple weeks or so. I m excited and can't wait for my procedure. I need to make myself stop reading the negativity on other sites about the band. It's scary. But I can say I've meet many that has had success than failure.

When do you get your band

I am going when school is out. I am am teacher so im getting in done around June 10th so I can have the whole summer to rest and get my self situated. Only thing I have left to do is my EDG and thats it. I talk to my advocate today and she said my insurance usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks for approval.

It really is a huge blessing. Many success stories. I am going to have to stop reading the negitivity. I was talking to my advocate and she was not putting anyone down but she said do what the doctor tell you to do and follow your diet you will do fine. She has been banded for about 8 years and still looks good. Are you in Houston as well?

Ok I know where you at. I am down the freeway from you on !-10. Well I teach in that area. I am off the beltway and Tidwell area. Do you use the ticker? Do you know how to edit? I tried to but it just takes me back to creat a new one and not posting previous weight.

      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.

        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!
