BEST thing and money I have ever done and spent on myself.

Best wishes and I hope you will be only as sore as I was. I only had 2 days of very very mind tenderness/soreness . I still took advil ever 12 hours for 5 days per surgeon.

I considered it my mini vacation.

Congratulations! You will be just fine :myscared: It will be over before you know it and you will be back here telling us what a piece of cake it was.

I'm coming up on my 1 year bandiversary on July 5th and I've lost 105 lbs so far. Because of the band I am able to have both of my knees totally replaced this coming June 15th. The band saved my life.

Keep us posted on your progress!

Congrads, probably everyone gets nervous, but I hope it will be worth it. I just had mine on the 24th of May. I am still on the liquid diet. I was really more worried about the diet than the surgery, but so far so good. You really don't want to eat anyway at first. And it has take this long for food to even smell good to me. I am looking forward to the soft diet. Just take one day at a time and I'm sure you will be fine.

      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!
