Getting banded on sept. 3rd



Recommended Posts

I am 22 years old getting my sugary very soon. I am scared and excited all at the same time. I start my pre op diet on Tuesday hope I can make it through the pre op diet. I was approve a year ago and wanted to try one last time to do it my self. I was able to loose 20lbs by myself. But I know I have to do something before I get bigger so decided to go through with lap band. Hopefully this will be the tool to finely get ride of this weight.

I hear ya. I have debated canceling my surgery. I think it's just nerves.... Kind of like canceling your wedding a week before.

Hey, you can always try another diet? They work so well?

Seriously, we see patients on here all the time with the same issues. It can last till 2 weeks post surgery but if you feel like you've tried everything else in the world, why not try this? But make sure you make the commitment.

I struggled with my weight my whole life believe me I tried so many things. I gave my self one last effort on trying on my own. I am proud I was able to loose some weight but I know i need help in my eating portion. Hopefully this well help me loose even more weight with my diet and exercise routine that I already have in place.

Every doctor is different! Might depend on your BMI.

I have a higher BMI of 55 so my pre op will be 3weeks :(

      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!
