Sara checking in here. :( Really bad month. I had a complete unfill on the 22nd, and my DR wants me in for surgery this thursday to either repair or take out my band. I find out today is I am having surgery. The only reason it won't hapen will be because I got the crap beat out of me on sunday morning by my now ex boyfriend, and there was some swelling on my brain, so that may delay surgery some. I am not liking this year. LOL. I hope everyone met or exceeded their challenge goal this month!!!

Be strong, if he is abusing you now, he always will. Follow through with the restraining order. God Bless you Sara, I'm thinking of you and hope all goes well with your band and in your life.

Jaon, I have a slip. Well, we're 90% sure of it, but it has been such a hassel to get my upper gi done. I have no restriction and most of the time I can't keep anything down. I went to the er for an emergency upper gi, and they refused it. That dr is being reported to the medical board, and because of otehr thangs that have happened, my DR is just going to go ahead with teh surgery. He's been my dr from teh beginning, and I have had a slight slip in the past. I think it's a slip. I just have to take each day as it comes.

As for the now ex boyfriend, yes he is definitely an ex now. I have court in the morning for my temporary restraining order, and he's being charged with 3 felonies.

I'm so sorry you are going through all of this, Sara. Please let us know how you are doing with your surgery and recovery. You will definately be in my thoughts...

Just letting you all know, I had surgery yesterday. My Dr went in and unhooked my band, so I will be living bandless until my stomach heals up and I get insurance again. It's going to be a rough couple months. As for the ex, I have my restraining order, and he's still in jail. It was the first time he ever did anything like that, and I got out of there as soon as I could. I am following through with it, and the only time I ever plan on seeing him again is in court.

On another not, when I weighed in before surgery yesterday, i was holding steady at 193 which means by the Dr's scale I didn't gain any while I had no fill in my band, yay!

      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!
