Texas Newbie Introduction

Hi. My name is Anne and I live in McKinney, TX. I'm reading all I can about banding and I'm really excited! I'm scheduled for July 14th with Dr. Aceves in Mexicali, Mexico.

Jasonsmom,

I changed my mind on the band and got the sleeve 9 days ago. I'm still on (supposed to be on) Clear Liquids which give me no energy at all. I should have waited until I could take full liquids before returning to work. :)

Otherwise, all is well. The experience overall was great. How about you?

Everything went okay. I can't imagine going back to work on Clear Liquids. I only had that for 3 days and had no energy. It will be two weeks tomorrow for me and I am really just starting to feel semi like myself. What made you change your mind to the sleeve? My Dr. wanted to do that but my insurance didn't cover it yet so we stuck with the band...

Jenn,

I changed to the sleeve because I didin't want to have to find a doctor for my fills since I had my surgery done in Mexico. My BMI was only 31 so insurance wouldn't pay.

      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!
