Hello I just wanted to introduce myself.



Recommended Posts

Hi my name is Lori and I just wanted to introduce myself.

I am still in the information stage of my journey. It was time for my yearly appointment and I so dreaded the scale, and for the past 5 years my Doctor always asks "Have you thought about having a Lap Band done?" I always said no and never gave it a second thought. This time I left the office telling myself that I would think about it.

I came home and the first site I came to was this one. I want to say I have enjoyed spending the weekend with y'all.

I laughed, cried, and cheered with every story that I read. There was so much great information that I think all my questions have been answered.

I am tired of sitting and watching the train pass me by. I'm ready to get out of the station and hop on for a ride. So when I see the Doc this week for my follow up I am going to tell him that I'm Ready!

Thanks for sharing you stories. I hope to chat with you all soon.

Lori

      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!
