Welcome and Congratulations on your upcoming surgery. You will do fine and a new YOU will appear. It's all about how do and follow yoru doctor's orders. SIP your Water, do some walking to alleviate any gas discomforts. I drove my car the next day less than 20 hours after surgery and I felt fine. Ask any questions on this great forum.

Best wishes and Keep the Faith

Using your iPad to reply to a topic you click on the arrow pointing to the right in the top right hand corner, then click reply to thread. Then all of your questions/answers will be on the same thread. I love the iPad/iPhone app (with a few small exceptions). I use the app at least 90% of the time.

If you wish to view the full version but still use the iPad open lapbandtalk.com on safari and login. This will take you to the desktop version vs the mobile. Then you will be able to view people's profiles etc.. Good luck with your upcoming surgery!!

Thank you everyone for your kind words and help with the gadgets. I am lying in bed having a lot of pain in my shoulder, feel like I can't take deep breath and missing my honey nut Cheerios Cereal and cream of wheat. As you all can see I am full of issues and feel like I am starving to death I don't know how I will make it through this Journey!!!

      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!
