Recommended Posts

Well everyone I talk to told me once I got started on this it would be like a whirlwind, wow is it ever!!! I have had my visit with my surgeon and with his nurse, did my gallbladder ultrasound today, in 2 days I see my cardiologist and set up tests with him, waiting on my psych eval appointment and also have an appointment set for pulmonary. whew this is life in the fast lane isnt it? Looks like I will get a surgery date mid-october. I tell you, I am counting the days. :clap2:

Chrissie

I see you are having surgery in the U.S. I had mine in Mexico and didn't have to go through all this expense. But after having the band for 4 months, I'm glad I did it. Losing 30 pounds is good. Now if I can just lose the other 30. Good Luck. Keep us posted. I'm not far away in Tahlequah.

      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.

      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!
