New question...I have had severe GERD since I was a teenager. Now 46 it is horrible. My primary was excited I am getting a lap band and says it should help the GERD alot. I was looking into the Linx band for GERD but have an issue with magnets in my body and it would not help my weight at all. Anyway I read about GERD and reflux being better and worse after lap band. What are your personal experiences?

I am scheduled for next Monday April 18th. Had my last appt pre-op with the doc today. All is on track and no issues. I am so ready but now the stress of the actual procedure is kicking in.

Day 2 post op and I am in pain but glad it's over. Bo complications other then they found a mass on the side of my stomach. They removed it and sent it pathology so we will see what that was about next week. I can't wait for the swelling and pain to go away.

Mass they removed is cancerous. Seeing an Gasyro-Oncology specialist next week but my regular doc assumes radiation only because it looks like the removed the entire mass. We will see. I am 11 days post op lap band and feeling much better. Eating bits of soft food and doing good. Concentrating on the weight-loss

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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!

        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.
