I got a call Thursday from one of the nurses saying they had a cancelation for June 12 and if I wanted to fill it. (my surgery is scheduled for July 24) I regrettfully told them "no". I leave for a 2 week vacation in Florida the 13th. I told them if it comes up again after the 27th, I'm there, but "I've GOT to go to Florida." Plus as much as I am nervous about my 2 weeks of all liquids, I would have only gotten barely a week of that in and still haven't been scheduled for my pre-opt tests yet. My mind and body have been wrapped around the 24 of July, so that's what I going to do. But it would figure they would call when there's no way that I could move up. They might have spies at the airport booking terminal.:incazzato: Hahaha Susan

Just your luck, but on the bright side you have a nice vacation ahead without any worries. I would just enjoy your vacation and start on the little things they all tell us . Drink/slip Water and slow down and chew chew chew when we eat and excercise.

I say it's good you decided to wait. It was dumb of them to call. It wouldn't have been fair to not even have a week of your pre op diet, that could have screwed things up if you decided to do surgery on the 12th. Either way I hope you have a wonderful vacation and after that you will be getting banded YAY

I live in the Kansas City area too Susan and my surgeon's office also called me to reschedule my surgery earlier, however, mine only called 2 days in advance. Luckily, I was only supposed to be on the pre-op diet 2 days anyway so I had time to do my 2 day pre-op diet before surgery, so I'd say if you get the opportunity again for surgery 1 week or less earlier than you're scheduled for now, go for it. Have fun on your vacation. I was just banded 3/19 of this year and love my band.

      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!
