Hi Everyone....I hope you all had a great weekend. Congrats to all you that just got your dates and welcome to the August All-Stars! Be sure to stop by the August Forum and get on the master list (I think it's called August Roster) that was started so we can all keep track of who's being banded in August and when.

Vegas-thank's for posting that shopping list, I copied and pasted it in my documents. OK, sorry if this is a "blonde" question.....but, why would someone need toilet tongs????

Count me for August too! My date is August 12th and I go for my Pre-Op tests on July 28th. I guess after 10 mo. It's really going to happen. Does anyone know about the recovery time, or what to expect?

zukagirl,

congrats on getting your date, bit annoying about your late surgery time though.

ive only been given a time to arrive, which is 7.30am which they have drummed into me, does not suggest the surgery time as that is when everyone has to arrive. everyone with this company gets an overnight stay. so am taking lots of books with me, not sure if i will have the concentration to read them. have you got things planned for the morning to keep your mind occupied?

Hey Cutie! I'm thinking that anybody who might need the tongs would know what to do with them. LOL! But I'm guessing that it's for after surgery...you might not be able to access certain areas for cleansing, if you know what I mean, due to pain or stitches? Anybody?

I'm being banded August 5th in Mexico. I can't wait. I'm on the PreOpt diet and my BMI is 70 and I'm trying really hard but I dont think I'm making any progress.

      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!
