Pre-Operative Testing*Finished*



Recommended Posts

I just finished up my Pre-Operative Testing for my LapBand surgery. On Monday I have my EGD test and then I start my two week liquid diet. My actual LapBand surgery will be on Tuesday May 21, 2013.

I am so excited and a bit nervous at the same time. I am ready for a change and this tool will help me achieve my personal goals. :)

I understand how you are feeling. My surgery is set for May 24th. I had to jump through all the insurance hoops the last 7 months so it feels like I have been waiting forever, yet now I am getting a little nervous, excited, anxious... so many emotions right now. Good luck with your journey. I hope to keep in touch since our surgeries are so close together. Maybe we can be band buddies. :D

I too understand the excitement all too well because I am set for May 24th. I'm so ready to start this journey after going through the 6 month process. I wish everyone the best and much success!

Yay for May 24th! I can't wait. I finished my last day of work before my surgery today. Good luck to you. Glad to know there are so many people going through this with me.

Congrats to you! What kinds of testing did you have to do? I barely have my 1st consultation with the surgeon next Wednesday and I'm just curious on what I can maybe expect.

Good luck!! I had mine yesterday! Tired, but the worst is the gas pains. And like you, I'm glad other people have done this 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!
