Hey Judie, my surgery was with Dr Schmitt also! (4/11/08) I'm feeling great..down about 26lbs and going in for my first fill on the 4th. Its great that you're already exercising. I think that is the key...I am working out at least 3 days a wk, sometimes 4 and i feel so much better!

Hi Judie,

I'm new to all of this too. I'm on my 2 week pre-op diet (no sugar, all clear liquids) and have lost 15.8 lbs. My band date will either be 05/29/08 or 06/02/08. My consult is tomorrow (05/23/08). Wish me luck!

Hey Kerri7227,

Congrats on you wonderful start. I go for my consult with my physician in Oxford, MS tomorrow (05/23/08). I have been on the pre-op diet plan x 5 days and have lost 15.8 lbs already. I have researched this all over the internet. I'm glad I finally ran up on this forum. Any hints after my surgery?

      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!
