;) I'm new to this chat room and I'm so glad that I have found you guys. It seems like a great support system. I got banded 4 wks ago today and I'm down 26 lbs. I get my first band adjustment on Monday. I'm kinda nervous about that cause I don't know if it hurts. I'm sure it is uncomfortable. I'm looking forward to chating with everyone and good luck to those who are starting there journey.

Hey I am one month post op and going to get my first fill on Monday. I hear it is not really painful with a skilled doctor. I am not nervous because I have checked with several of his other patients and they all said it was easy. You are doing wonderfully. I have lost 20 lbs since surgery and 55 from dieting before surgery. Good Luck on Monday!

      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!
