Hello From Queens, New York



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to say hello to everyone on the site. I'm set to be banded October 7 from Dr Vohra (Long Island, NY) and looking forward to it.

I was going to remain mostly a lurker on the site. But with so many people here giving support, ideas, and advice, Id be rude not to be part of it. Not to mention all the info I found here already.

BTW, kudos to everyone who have had the surgery and showed success. It's funny how my past was echoed by many people here. They convinved me that I made the right choice to finally have this done.

Hello DonTony, congratulations on your decision and welcome to the best support center in the world. This message board has been a God send to me. There is an answer for every question you can come up with and the people here are wonderful.

I see you are from Howard Beach, I grew up in South Ozone Park but live in the beautiful hills of West Virginia now. Eat a slice of New Park and a prosciutto sandwich at Gino's for me before you get your band. :rolleyes2: MMMM no wonder I am fat, growing up there with all that deliciousness.

Good luck!

Ah New Park. I plan on having a few slices before Im banded. Ive never been to West Virginia, but Im sure it's nice.

And as far as the site goes, thats what put me over the edge in deciding to get banded. So many positive stories and information. I have two months to go before Im banded; so Im gathering as much information now as possible.

      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!
