Good luck to you. I'm just starting my work up. I've gained about 20 lbs since I've been thinking about getting lapband. I don't know if this is expected....I just keep thinking why bother.....I know that's not a good thing. I'll be checking for you after the 4th....You'll do just great...

You will do great. I am trying to get approved in Lubbock or El Paso as my insurance says they won't approve anywhere else.

Good Luck Wendy

I'm in San Antonio and just got my band on the 31st. I'm a little sore but other than that okay.

Congrats, I am in Tyler Texas and I am waiting for insurance approval with UHC. I spoke with my caseworker today and she said that I should hear something tomorrow. (They needed ANOTHER letter from my PCP) Say a prayer for me!

      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!
