Well, my first attempt at posting ended up being a reply instead of a new thread so I am trying again. Hope it works this time :wink:

Hello All,

You have no idea how helpful and supportive you all are to those of us lurking around this site. Thank you so much for helping me make my decision. I read Dr. Ortiz's book "Lap Band for Life" and will be going to Mexico for my surgery. Actually it worked out perfectly because I am going on a cruise out of San Diego with my daughter and granddaughter. It is a Body, Mind and Spirit cruise with Wayne Dyer and others. Since my daughter paid for my flight from Michigan I will already be in San Diego and will go for my surgery right after the cruise. My BMI is around 40 so I was allowed to forgo the pre-op diet. That's a good thing although I don't plan on splurging on the cruise I'd hate to be in my cabin drinking Iso-Pure while the others were dining in luxury :-). I look forward to having the help of all you wonderful people after surgery on April 14th. You are such a great group you have no idea how much you are appreciated.

Blessings,:smile:

Sally

Hi Connie,

My last name used to be Caldwell. What a small world. My husband passed away from cancer in 1999 and I have since re-married a wonderful man. They say there are only 6 levels of separation and the world is getting smaller every day with the help of the internet. I am very much looking forward to the cruise and then getting down to business. The next cruise I go on I want to be proud of the way I look in a bathing suit!

Thanks for your support.

Sally

      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!
