Yet another newbie arrives...



Recommended Posts

I've been lurking around for a few weeks, and finally got brave enough to register. I'm so glad I came across this mb, and I hope that everyone considering the lapband does-the exchange of info that I've seen taking place is invaluable!

I'm hoping to have my surgery sometime in early 2008; there is no way I can take any time off my job during the holidays. My job? Everyone ready to groan? I'm a professional chef. :)

Anyhow, I just wanted to say hello before I started asking questions.

Welcome, Laura! You will find lots of answers and support here. I am 3 weeks post-op and starting to feel like ME again! I wish you the best of everything! Waiting for the surgery is the hardest part. Maybe as a chef, you'll be able to help us all adapt recipes to fit our needs! That would be great. You'll be around lots of temptation, but hold true to yourself and your goals, and you'll be fine. Just keep the end results in your mind always! Take care of you!!--Sue:)

      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!
