Lap-band op on Monday!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi All

So excited :( :grouphug: :frown3:

I had my consultation early feb and was weighed etc & due to work

committments could not have surgery until mon 28/04/08.

I must confess & after consultation went 'food crazy' saw it as 'last

chance saloon' & ate lots of rubbish :lol: (there confession over!)

So was really worried when went back for pre-op tests would weigh

more than I did in feb...but I have managed to pull myself back & been

on low-fat pre-op diet for 3 weeks & now weigh 5 kg less than in Feb. :biggrin2:

I consider monday as my new birthday & can't wait to stop my life

time of obesity...

Just thought I would share my thoughts & joy & is it normal to be

this excited?

Congratulations, Gingercat! I am still pre-op, so can't say if your excitement is natural from personal experience, but I would think it is. I hope I feel the same when it's my turn!

Good luck and post as soon as you feel up to it!

You know there is power in words... and when u said that "You will consider monday as your new birthday" A light bulb went off and I am there right with u. Turning points in your life are always marked with a date. Who says you can't have 2-birthday's.. ahhh I love it... and congrats...:(:thumbup::grouphug:

      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!
