I am as well having the hernia repair while being banded. I'm glad I had the hernia otherwise insurance wasn't going to cover it

Me too!! They are going to repairs my hernia and put LAPBAND on while in there... Insurance will cover it that way for me as well!! Good luck to you ;)

Congratulations to all of you. I have been a True Results patient since December 2010. I LOVE the staff. Dr. Ken Hollis did my surgery. I like CM77539 had the hernia repair and then the lapband was clamped on. Yeah baby!!!!!!! I love the new changes to the office. Seems like every month I go something is different for the better for our services. I will be seeing them next week for my monthly check up and fill. Definitely ask questions because this is your body and your journey. They will answer you and are very nice and cordial. They want you and the band to work. They are your friends not your enemies. Use them. LOL Good luck all. B)

How did you know you had a hernia?

It was diagnosed by another one of my doctors on ultra sound. I was having upper abdominal problems. It felt as though I couldn't breath anymore. I could hardly eat as well. I was miserable until after my surgery. :D

I'm so glad to hear abt so many successes. I go for my psych eval on sat. I hope I'm not crying up a storm. Lol.... I'm so excited and theoretical I talk and hear feedback the better and more comfortable I feel. I admit that I get overwhelmed sometimes thinking abt never eating rice or potatoes again but it's worth it for me and my family. I don't have any kids yet and I have pcos which makes conceiving difficult so it is imperative that I lose a considerable Amy of weight. This is abt to b the best summer of my life !

Oh I was wondering about that. I guess I would know if I had a hernia, it would hurt!! Lol. I just saw that a lot of patients have that surgery too so I was curious.

Anybody know anything about plication? That's something else that's mentioned on these boards. Curious about that too.

      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!
