:eek:Well here I sit in the hospital for emmm now let me see, the 4th time since June 5 when I had my band. The first was actual banding, second was blood clot in my leg, 3rd and 4th times now are for not being able to swallow-even liquids!!

So my legs are now so big they feel like they are about to pop open. I generally feel lousy. I have been npo since midnight and it's 5 am now, I guess they will tell me soon when I am going back into surgery for my doc to "look around". My family wants me to tell him just to take the band out, and if I get to see him again before surgery that's what I am going to do.

This is rating up there with one of the worst things I have ever done for myself. I definetly would not do this again. Ladies think long and hard before you do this and like I said if you are like me and things always go wrong for you, dont do it!!!

I would appreciate your prayers this morning, I am really worried about making it out of this surgery alive and I am not kidding, I am scared to death this time.

      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!
