Well tomorrow my wife and I are going to get banded. Dr Wellborn in Little Rock is doing it and we have herd really good things about him. My wife is set up at 9:00 am and I am at 11 am. We have to go get blood work done today and pay for everything ...:faint:.... I think thats the hardest part. I am getting nervouse now, really cause I have never been in the hospital for anything.

Pray for me and my wife and wish us luck! See you on the banded side!

Hey there are Arkies in here! I am from near Little Rock and I was banded one month to the day before you guys will be. I was banded in Monterrey by Dr. Rumbaut. Good luck! When you get past the gas pains you will be really glad you got banded! I have lost 18lbs in 4 weeks!

Mark,

I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. It is so sweet getting it done together. Now you tell your wife that you will loose quicker than her and it's just a natural thing and for her not to get upset. I've had the band for 2 weeks, lost 21 pounds and I still weigh 4 pounds more than my husband and had to spend 10,000.00 to get there and he's still smaller and 5 inches taller. Go figure.

I will say a prayer for you both. Make sure you both sip and not drink, drinks lots of Water, and walk walk walk.

You will both be fine and losing weight right and left.

      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!
