Hey everyone. I have been lurking on this site for a while but I decided to go ahead and register and say hey. I am just starting my band process. I had my first appointment at True Results in Scottsdale, today. So... Yeah. This is happening. :D

I remember when I made my mental commitment and how thrilling the whole thing was but how darn long it takes to get to the point where you start shedding the lbs. Congrats!

The mental hurdle is the biggest one. Actually stepping through the doors was easy. :) This is going to take some time, I have a few hops to jump through to make my insurance company happy. That's fine, I'll jump. I'll learn valuable lessons in the process. Thank you.

Thank you. I am sure I won't be. This isn't a rash decision, I'm going in both eyes wide open. :)

That is awesome! I too went through the True Results in Scottsdale. It took me just over a year to finally decide, and I am now 1 week post-surgery. I can tell you that it might seem like you made a bad decision the first couple of days, but believe me, you will SO learn that you made the right choice! Welcome to the family:)

Thank you so much. :)

It's funny, I half expected, once the initial euphoria began to calm to feel that touch of "buyers remorse" or fear that I was making a mistake but I have given this so much thought, researched it so thoroughly and gone back and forth in my head over it for so long that I am completely calm about my decision. :D

      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!
