Last of the September Samurais



Recommended Posts

Well, in 45 min I will be leaving for the hospital. Boy, has this been a rollercoaster ride! I found this site as I was looking for information about my insurance. I think that was in June. I got denied by my insurance, and then got the denial reversed. Now, more than 400 posts later, here I am. I will never be the same after today.

Here is to a happier healthier ME!

Good luck my Samurai buddies, and to all of you Pumpkins awaiting surgery!

I too am leaving for the hospital in 20 short minutes. I am so ready for this! All of the doubts I have beeen feeling in the last few weeks are all completely gone this morning. Funny, I just know I am doing the right thing. Good Luck with your band and I will talk to you later.

Congratulations to the last of the September Samauri's. I was banded yesterday and have not noticed much of a difference as of yet. I am still sitting in my private hospital room watching tv and sucking down an Atkins strawberry shake. I have also been walking, walking, walking.

Good luck to you! I was banded yesterday and am doing well for the most part. Surgery went better than expected. Even though, I was having may 2nd thoughts yesterday. You will do great! The only complaint I have is gas pains. Ugh...

Sending lots of hugs your way!:biggrin:

      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!
