Hello Friends!

My name is Tracey and I am from Arizona. I am having my lap band surgery on December 28th. I am looking forward to it, but a little nervous.

Just wanted to drop in and say hi to everyone!

Hi Tracey, and welcome to LBT! Wow, your date is getting close. Does your doctor have you on a liquid diet? Let us know if you have any questions, we are here to help and support one another.

Hi Susan-

Thanks for your response!

Yes, I am on that awful liquid diet! I have the most HORRIBLE headache today from it too!

How long after op. did you have a 'full' feeling when you ate? How long did it take for you to be able to eat 'normal' foods (I really want some hummus!)

Thanks again-Tracey

I am in Texas and going to Monterrrey for the surgery on the 28th. I'm in the anxious-nervous-excited stage!

Hi There Neighbor!

I am going to the Weight Loss Institute in Tempe. They are higher priced, but it includes 3 years of monthly support groups, pre and post counseling, free personal trainer for 3 years and all your doctor visits. I felt comfortable with my surgeon.

I live in Queen Creek! How far along are you in the process?

Merry Christmas Tracey and to all who read this.

Tracey, I live in Prescott and will be banded on 1/31/2008. So I will be really interested in hearing from you on how the LB is going. I am having it done at Scottsdale Shea. I will keep you in my thoughts and hope you have a very successful journey!

      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!
