@@UsernameTaken yay so happy for you. I'm also revision from band to bypass. My surgery is May 6th so you aren't too far behind me. We should definitely keep in touch since we are going through the same exact thing. Please let me know how everything goes and message me anytime if you want to talk more.

I have been on a liquid only diet since Monday. For me, it isn't super great but I am not really hungry, just more so miss solid food. I will never take a chicken breast for granted again. Lol and I am dreaming about food, the other night I dreamed I kept eating food and spitting it out after I realized I am not supposed to be eating it. My pre-op is this Monday and then surgery the Monday after that, so looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life!

@@UsernameTaken and @@Heatherg0907 I am going through the same. I'm hoping to be at the end of May. I'm interested to see how you guys do "in real time". I've seen a lot of band to sleeve but not as many band to bypass.

@@Doc'sWife Wow I guess there are more people than I thought going through this. I have a lot of anxiety about this just because the lap band didn't work out for me but at the same time I can't wait to start this new life. I'm going to put everything I have into making this work for me. Good luck to you and we should definitely keep in touch, I would love to have someone to talk to that knows what I'm going through.

Glad to share same path with you two. There are definitely more out there like us, i was very happy to find out I was not alone.

I am supposed to start liquid diet on Thursday, not looking forward to it but needs to be done. I am also nervous, I will be having 3 in one surgeries, removal, bypass and gallbladder removal, so hope it all goes well and in one and without complications. Will update :)

It is good to know there is a big support system out there for band to bypass. Good luck with the 3 in 1. That sounds rough.

      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!
