I Have A Date



Recommended Posts

I am so excited! My surgery date is set for October 6th, which just happens to be my dh and my wedding anniversry. I wont forget either date now...not that I would.

I am so happy, I've been dancing around, talking non-stop, and probably driving all my friends, family , and co-workers crazy...and I only have known the date for one day!! Everyone I know is going to know about the band, whether they want to or not, just because of my intense enthusiasm!

A bunch of my friends and I were planning to go to this great restaurant called BUCA'S to Celebrate my best friend's birthday... we are going there on Oct. 4th, which is the last day I can eat before the surgery...so, we'll Celebrate my LAST SUPPER, too. I think it's just perfect.

Whoo-hoo whoo-hoo...doin' the happy dance......

Congratulations, how exciting! I'm so glad to hear everything is in order.

I, too, may be having my surgery Oct. 6th at the U of M Fairview. Isn't that funny? I still have to have prescreening and stuff like that, so we'll see if that date still works after the first part of next week.

It sure is great to know someone else from Minnesota who is going to have surgury so close!

Congrats again!

It would be weird if you were to have surgery on the 6th too...Do you know of any support groups?? Some of the Banded patients from Methodist are starting one in October, the first meeting will be on the 15th. If you want more info, e-mail me, or write it here, then I'll ask the gal who's having it if any extra are welcome, I'm sure they would be.:)

Have I mentioned that I am way excited???

      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!
