I Did IT 12-12-2008



Recommended Posts

:lol:I was banded 12-12-2008 in Lubbock by Dr. Hall. Everything went great, very minor pain, mostly gas pain. Are there any others banded on 12-12-2008. What city did you get banded in and who was your doctor? Did you have any problems and how are you doing now? Thanks and good luck.:rolleyes2:

welcome harleyfarmer,

I wasn't banded in TX but I did live in Lubbock for about a year before I came to CO. Most of my family lives there now. My youngest sister is a missionary and a few years ago, she stayed at a house in O'Donnell for her furlough.

I was also banded on the 12th! i was banded by Dr. Fox at Kennewick General Hospital. Him and everyone at the hospital were great! I can't believe I'm finally banded! I got in at noon. it was supposed to be outpatient but I ended up having to stay overnight because I had a lot of pain. the problem was that I had really strong core muscles so it was hard for them to get through them to do the surgery. they had to be rough to get through so now my stomach is really tender. also I woke up really quickly because of problems with nausea and pain. but the hospital was great and soon I was all caught up on the pain meds so it wasn't too bad after that. In the end I'm really glad that I spent the night in the hospital.

I feel no hunger at all so far and for the first time since starting my 10 day diet I'm full! This is the best feeling.

      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!
