Congratulations on your upcoming surgery. You will do just fine. I have had my band for a little over 4 months now and have lost 51 lbs. I wish I would have done it a long time ago. What part of Alabama are u from? I am from Alabama also. Good Luck and let us know how u do with your surgery.

We have the same date! I get my band at 8:30am on the 30th. I am experiencing the same emotions as you. I really wasn't nervous or emotional until I got my exact due date. Then all of a sudden these feelings started rushing in. Good Luck to you, we will both do fine.

Good luck with your surgery! I think the multitude of emotions is perfectly normal. Where in Alabama are you? I had my surgery in March and live in Tuscaloosa.

Thanks everyone for all the replies. I live just outside Birmingham and will have surgery at Trinity with Dr. Pennington. Its nice to have other people close going thru the same thing. I wish everyone success and would love to make new friends with fellow Alabamians.

      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!
