Hi * Just wondering if there would be any of you in Tijuana between the 1st to 4th of August! Me and my mom are getting banded during that time, and I figured I might as well ask if anyone would be down there.

I must admit, I'm getting kinda nervous. It's just me wondering how I'm going to last without food for 3 weeks. This is something I wanna do so bad, but I don't know if I'll be able to hack it. (I will though!) I was also wondering, what types of liquids did everyone drink?

*About twelve days til I leave. I'm counting down!*

Brittany, this was one of my biggest concerns too but I will tell you my experience on this was amazing. I was not even hungry for 3 weeks after surgery. There is swelling from surgery, you have gas from surgery. food just did not even appeal to me after surgery. I know everyone is different, but it is nothing like trying to do it now before the band, it is much easier after surgery because of the swelling and gas . You wil lbe able to do it, we al ldid, the good thing is you will have your mother doing it right along with you, no better support then that! Good Luck, are you using Dr. Ortiz?

He was my surgeon and I have to say I have been blessed with his care and kindness over the last 15 months

I drank all juices, chicken broth, Jello, popsicles, Protein drinks, skim milk, chocolate skim milk, gatorade

Brittany,

I will be in Tiajuana from the 26th of July until the 3rd of August. My mom just wanted to make sure I would be alright before making our trip back across the country and then having to turn around if something went wrong. Oh yeah I tried to add you to my Yahoo Messanger List but you haven't been on!

      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!
