YIPEEEEEE!!! I have a date!!



Recommended Posts

I just received a call from the doctor's office and the insurance has given them the ok to do the surgery. They scheduled my surgery for December 3rd. Since I have to be on a 2 week liquid diet I wouldn't be able to get in earlier even if someone were to cancel. I really don't even care because I am just so excited knowing that I am going to be a BANDSTER!!!! YEAAAAAA!!!!!:o:P :P :)

Congratulations! December will be here before you know it. I got a date approximately 2 months ahead and thought it would take forever to get here, but it flew by! I hope it does the same for you.

Hi Carmen, Congratulations!!!!!!! Isn't it exciting??? You're just a few days behind me! I'm stocking up on yogurt, Protein Drinks, made some chicken Soup last night, I'm ordering Protein Powder and bars........... etc. I'm so happy you finally have a date. From what I read on other boards, it's taking some people almost a year to get a date because of the popularity of the band. People are starting to hear about it and the word is spreading like wildfire. Good thing we got in when we did!!!!

AND HOW!!! I can't believe the date is set!! I remember when I first decided to have the band done. From the time that I had my first initial consult until today with the date has taken me a little under 2 months!! I can't believe how quick it went. I am really glad that the band is starting to get the recognition that it deserves. I just wish more people had no problem getting insurance to cover it. Wouldn't that be GREAT!!??!!? Then we could ALL be loosing!!

      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!
