Hi Everyone,

I am a new member and I am VERY EXCITED to be here with you all and VERY EXCITED to be scheduled for my lapband on May 27; day after Memorial Day. Doesn't that suck!!?? Anywhobewhattie, I am going on my 5 day liquid pre-op diet starting that thursday before all the way til my surgery that tuesday. OH WELL!!! Are there anymore May 27th 2008 scheduled bandsters out there??? Oh, oh question -How do I create my weight scale thingamajigger? I've been reading a lot of threads for the past few weeks and had to pull myself from this site because some members had me "SCURED" with some of the after effects of the surgery. But, i'm back, still committed and even more so determined. If I don't get this surgery, instead of being called sunshinelady, they are going to call me postallady:cursing:!!!!!! DO YOU ALL HEAR ME??!!!!!!!!

Thank you for letting me introduce myself(did I really?) and I hope to get some good old fashioned bandster feed back from you all.

Hi and welcome to LBT! Only a couple of more weeks until you are an official bandster, YEA!!

Don't be scared by the complications threads. Remember, people who have problems come here for support. The majority, who are not having problems tend to fade away from the boards after a while and are out living their lives and enjoying their new health.

Here is the thread for how to add a ticker to your signature:

Keep us posted on how things are going. We are excited to get to know you better.

      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!
