Just got my date December 4th



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone!!!

I am sooooo excited about getting the Lap Band on December 4th. It is something that I have waited for for a long time. I orginally was denied by Cigna for not following the 6 month physican diet to the T. I was seeing my physcian every other month instead of every month during the 6 month time frame. However, I sent in a really great appeal letter and just got word last week that they approved me. Now I am scrambling around trying to get all my pre-op stuff done. I am so excited to change my life.

Well just wanted to say hello to everyone!

I am going to be banded at Potomac Hospital in Woodbridge, VA. We have about the same amount of weight to loss to get to our ideal weights. It will be interesting to see how this goes for both of us! Good luck to you.

      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.

      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!
