It is so hard to believe that this time next week I will be BANDED !!!!! Doing okay on my preop, loosing 23 lbs so far. My only fear is the liver shrinking issue. Reading restlessminkeys story has kept me going. Thanks to all my chat friends for keeping me inspired and laughing. I LOVE this site, it has answered so many of my questions and calmed all my fears about this surgery. Thanks to everyone and God Bless

Lora -

Congratulations on doing so well on your preop diet! I will be banded March 10 and have lost 12.5 pounds on my preop diet so far. I haven't really been hungry, just more bored with the choices I guess. I am sooo craving salmon! You'd think it would be chocolate or chips. Go figure :) It's hard for me to believe that after all these months my surgery is next week as well.

Good luck with surgery - look forward to seeing you on the boards!

Lora - Hey my Florida Neighbor!

Yes!!! We only have 1 week to go! I'm so excited. I have followed my doctors instructions exactly. I'm also nervous about the liver thing....

Best of luck to us both! :cursing:

Are you all March 11 banders? That's my date, too. Aussie Trace is a March 11-er, too. If you're an 11-er, let me know, and I'll add you to my friends list. I would just love to know how it goes for you all, and I am so excited for us! We are going to be skinny and healthy and fun! Woohoo!

Hey Ladies !!!!!

Today is pre-op at the hospital. I get my surgery time today !!!! I am still so excited. Wednesday can't get here quick enough. I know I'll be sore and have to bounce back after surgery but I am ready to get to my "sweet spot" fill and start seeing results. I know sometimes it takes a few fills to get there but I am so so ready. I am excited I have new friends that will be on this exciting jorney with me. Stay healthy ladies and keep in touch good or bad. Here is my email so we can keep in touch lora.hedrick@duda.com.

      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!
