The Count Down is On!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I'm very excited 7 days from today I will be banded! Looking forward working on the new me! So I have counted down the 7 months of doctor visit's - I have counted down the attending support group meetings (which I have enjoyed very much!) and counted down the days to wait on approval from my insurance comany - which ended up being one day! Glory!!!!! So now just waiting on my surgery day and getting started. I am using Dr. Bilton (Tuscaloosa AL) - have been working with his nurse Beverly who is just wonderful. Looking forward to meeting others on LapBandTalk.com and seeing others success and issues and how they to have overcome and moved forward.

Have a wonderful day!:)

      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.

      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!
