i don't have a surgery date yet, but it will probably be at the beginning of next year.

Bee,

I remember how excited I was . Now the excitement of seeing the smaller

numbers on the scale is really exciting . Congradulations on your approval.

Welcome.

I have my last appt with the surgeon this week 12/6/06. Can hardly wait for my surgery. I am hoping to have it done before the end of the year. Currently I weigh about 270+ (was 271 on my first visit to him, that was over a month ago). Dr. Paul Stanish in Merrillville, Indiana will be doing my surgery. I have put in alot of time doing research on Lap-Band and truly think that this is the tool I need to help me find a solution to my weight issues. I will post a before pic next week and then as time goes on will be back with after pics. Thanks for this wedsite.

      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!
