Recommended Posts

WOOHOO!!! I'm so excited!!! I wasn't expecting my initial consultation until at least April (or May or June!) but I just got a call and there is a cancellation!!!

I go to meet the Assessment Team on January 23rd!!! :banana

After meeting me, they'll determine if it's best for me to go on their Weight Wise management program to lose weight with their dietitians (NNOOOO!!!!!!) or go through the Lap Band process (YYEEESSS!!!!!).

If anyone is a praying person here, could you say a little prayer that I get accepted for the Lap Band procedure? I've tried so many diets on my own and just can't do it! I've waited long enough for this! I would sure appreciate it! Thank you!!!! :biggrin1:

Great news Pam! I'm a new wannabe bandster. I have an appt with my doc on Jan. 3/07 to start the referral process. I also heard it was about a 1 1/2 to 2 yr process for Dr. Birch/Dr. Davey. Long wait!!!

I'm soooo excited for you!!!!!!! You must be on top of the world!!!!!!!!!!

      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!
