I've been looking on this forum for a while. I finally decided to register. I have my surgery scheduled for April 15. I start my pre-op diet next weekend. I am a little nervous. Wondering if I am making the right decision. Anyone else felt that way?

Welcome and congrats. I think most of us second guessed ourselves. Speaking for myself i was sure until a few days before surgery. In fact when i was waiting my turn i was considering leaving the hospital but glad i didn't.

Good LUCK

Your feelings are normal, but lap band works if you work the band. At goal and happy I had the surgery! Good luck and welcome to LBT.

I think we all felt that way. We've tried all the diets. Any time of WLS is usually the final end of the road. Look at it a fresh start to a new chapter in your life. This is a great site for information. Ask lots of questions... take it one day a time.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to email me.

I know I was very anxious the day before my surgery.. after my surgery I was a little down the first week feeling that I had made a mistake.. however that feeling soon left and I was involved in eating right and starting to walk and move... I am very happy I made the decision to get my band.. I have not felt this good in years.. You will do great.. and will be posting your accomplishments soon...

Big decisions are always accompanied by anxiety. But let us reassure you, this is going to be the best decision. Trust the band! :)

I myself am worried about it! April 8 here!

But I think of all the things I will be able to do! Walking in theme parks, fitting through turnstiles, plane seats, etc.

      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!
