:thumbup:To day I'm getting my band in about 2 1/2 hours. and i'm getting very nervous. i really think some of what i'm feeling is from not eating or drinking anythin this morning. I can't believe the day is here. i'm only taking 4 days off from work but i think i can go back on thursday. we'll see.

I haven't told any of my family about this and hopefully there won't be a need to tell them for several months.

i'll post tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

It's day 2 post op and everything is going really well. i'm home relaxing between walking around the house. not a lot of pain except for where the port is placed. Having a tough time getting on a schedule for eating vs. drinking. but I think that will be easier to do when i'm not just on true liquids.

and i'm no sure that what i'm feeling is being full or not but i am stopping when i do start to feel the pressure for fear that i will over eat. and i don't want to throw up. have to give my self my shot this am so we'll see how that goes. but i have already lost 10 lbs. :lol: and i'm happy with that.

It is good to know that you are doing ok. I know exactly how you feel about being full or not. It is really hard to tell at this point. I am glad that you aren't in a lot of pain. That is great about your weight loss. I came home weighing 5 lbs more than when I left. I expected that and am not concerned just yet. Keep up the good work.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
