Saw my surgeon today. Dr Reza Adib from Weight Loss Solutions at Varsity Lakes on the Good Coast Queensland.

Yesterday I saw he Psychologist and Nutritionist. Both interviews were an hour each. It was quite intensive. I don't have a huge amount to lose but give me another few months and I will have plenty to lose.

You see I crrently have a Gastric Band and it was my best friend for six years until the dreaded. menopause hit me. After being at my ideal weight for many years suddenly I could not stop eating sweet foods especially chocolate. Bippity Bobbity Boom I had put on 15 kg. !!!!

On Thesday 23 Dec 14 I will be having my Band Removed and on 23,March 15 I will be getting my Sleeve as the body needs 3 months to recover from the removal of the Band. I am super excited and glad to be a member of this amazing forum.

Welcome @petaloshea. This is truly an amazing forum. I have learned so much from all of the people who contribute here, and I have found that most here are very kind. I really appreciate that.

I look forward to hearing about your progress. I understand that band to sleeve revisions present challenges.

      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!
