Ok so... I have read slot of the posts but this is my first entry... A little bit Of my story: I stared my journey in febuary 2008, I followed up with my 6 month doctor supervised diet... I got approved for surgery on December 10 2008 ... Then had an insurance glich so I had to wait until feb 7 2009... Well mean while my surgoen moved out if town so I got transfers to another surgeon, hospital... Thus having to completely start over( new dietian, pt, and simina) only thing that I did not have to start over with is my 6 month diet... All was good went in to meet my new surgeon pay more money to him...( which is in limited suppy around here) then to find out that my family doctor screwed up my paperwork and had to start my diet all over again... This past April I got a new insurance threw work that does not require the 6 months(now that I am on month 5) . The wonderful news is that now I am scheduled to be banded the 5th of august... Yea next Wednesday I am so excited but getting nervous so any last minuet advise? This set week had trouble sleeping I am getting restless but nothing could make me back out I have spent about 1000 dollars and I am still preop ... I am so ready for this thanks for your help

Just wanted to tell you good luck...and follow the post op diet exactly as you're told. It's a "healing" diet, not a weight loss one, and if you cheat (like eat foods ahead of when you are cleared for them) you can really hurt yourself! :laugh: Otherwise, it's about time! Good Luck! :tt2:

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
