Hello all,

This is the second time I wrote this the other one just disappeared???? :embarassed: :faint:

Ok so I have been lurking alot and posting a litlle for the pass month or so. I heard about the lapband in dec of last year. I have done TONs of research and decided to do it.. I am a mother of three children under the age of 5 and a wife to a wonderful man. I am at the highest weight of my life right now and just ready to make a life change. ( I am 6'2 and 315lbs w/ BMI of 40) So today is my LCD day(life changing day) I am commited to changing all my old bad habits and making new ones. I have two appointments next week to see a psyc dr and a nutritionalist. once that done my doctor will file the ins. I am praying I get approved. I have united and have been told they are real good about approving. I am seeing Dr woodman in Memphis Tn. Anyone heard of him? Anyways just wanted to say thanks for all of your inspiration you all have offered and be prepaired I sure I will have LOTS of questions.. :help:

      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!
