Hi

I am new here too. My op is on 17 July 2008 so not long to go. Have been looking into this for 12 months so has taken me a while to gather courage in having it done. My biggest thing is worried about not waking up after the surgery (silly I know) but anyway time has come to get it done. I weigh 134 kilos so a fair way to go on my journey.

Good luck on your journey, this site looks awesome.

Welcome ladies.... it is a little bit scarey leading up to the surgery - however, I'm sure like the vast majority of people, you will be thrilled you had this done once you get past the first couple of weeks. Best thing I ever did for myself (so far :->)

Hi all,

Trust me it would be the best thing that you have done. I am looking into it at the moment as my husband got banded on the 17th March and he has lost a lot of weight and his portion sizes have went down as well, so a big saving on the food bills.

Here is the link to get a ticker

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
