And I am also a teacher---ESE, K-5! I love the date because I have a few days after school ends on the 4th to rest, and nearly 2 weeks before summer school starts to get used to the band and get back into things. I am soooo looking forward to this. Since November, I have only lost 14 pounds and it has been hard going! I'm hoping that the band gets me jump-started to lose at a normal rate, especially since I have so much to lose!

I am also being banded on June 10th, and I am also a teacher! I work with young kiddos with Autism. I love it and I will love it more when I can gracefully hop up off the floor in my classroom without any issues. Go June bandsters!!!

Anyone getting nervous? I am nervous and excited. Ready for it to be over with. I was supposed to have my last preop appt. today but it had to be rescheduled to tomorrow (yep a Saturday!) I was surprised at that. I am scared I haven't lost enough on my preop diet. I have lost about 6 or 7 pounds. Hopefully that is enough. My BMI is 43 so I just pray that my liver is not too large! But overall since November I have lost about 25 lbs.

Nannypants, I had to laugh at your "gracefully hop off the floor".....:( If I ever got on the floor, it would be because I fell and I would need help to get up. Graceful would never be part of the picture for me! Good luck everyone! Tuesday is just around the corner and I cannot wait!

June must be the month for teachers! I received my approval in March and decided to wait until summer vacation. My surgery date is this Tuesday, 6/24. I'm so excited (and nervous) to start my new life! It wll be such a blessing not to be exhausted and wanting to take a nap when I get home from school when I lose weight.

P.S. Nannypants, I haven't sat on the floor in years! I think I'd need the

fire department to give me a boost..(the kids would love that I'm sure):biggrin2:

Congratulations Justjan! But I have to tell you, I have many "skinny" teacher friends who are totally exhausted at the end of the day! I think it is a far more strenuous occupation than most people believe---those little darlings keep us busy, don't they? Summer school just started for me today, and with the air conditioning out, I was grateful to have just gotten a short hair cut and to have the lost the weight I have so far---even so, it was miserably hot! Hahaha!

      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!
