Were any of you on your cycle for surgery, and was it a problem. I have waited 5 months and guess what is going to show up at surgery time. I don't figure it will be, but just thought I would throw it out there and see if any one had an issue with it.

Hi there! I'm having my surgery today :) While I do not have my "monthly" right now, my information just mentioned to wear a pad instead of a tampon for the procedure.

Hope this helps! Best of luck :)

I can honestly tell you they got 85% compliance... There were a few meals in there but I tried to stick healthy and Protein heavy... I've lost about 10 lbs in the 2 weeks I was on it :) I'm quite pleased with that.

That's made me feel better I've been panicking a bit as 3 days of diet isn't long to prepare but some ppl say there doctors tell them one day of shakes before op an that's all they need

I just had my pre-admission testing, and lucky me, my "friend flow" will be joining me on June 6 th for surgery. Nurse said not a problem, just no tampons. I think I will wear a "depends" LOL. I'm nervous, and ashamed. I've been eating like crap. At least my cravings will be over by surgery date - guess that's good :)

Being on your period isn't a problem. Make sure to wash well and 'tidy up' down there in case they need to do an in and out cath. Period blood is def. not the grossest thing nurses see. The doc won't see down there at all.

I hate to break it to you, but the band goes around your stomach, not the other place. :o

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
