Goodl luck to you. I'm also starting the process. I have an appointment with my PCP on Friday so he can fax all my "stuff" to the lapband dr. I'm having all kinds of anxiety, I'll be excited and ready, then I get nervous.

Hi! I am also going to Dr. Daly. I am set for surgery next Monday June 9th. Have you been given a date or are you still in the "process". I liked him a lot from my meetings and can't wait. Good luck!

Hi I'm in SC. I'm in the process now of getting my psych evals knocked out and then I can meet with my doc. You'll get great support here. The people are open and are ready to tell you all about their experiences. So far the process has been easy but I know all this is the hard part it is after surgery when the real journey begins.

      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!
