NEED A BUDDY/MENTOR



Recommended Posts

I am getting banded 9/21....I'm on my liquid diet now. Final pre-surg testing scheduled for tomorrow. I am 34 and have 3 biological kids, 2 more through marriage...so we are BUSY! :) I have a background of stage work so I was at one time very small. I haven't been able to get weight off for years now and I'm really looking forward to this journey and change.

I live in the Chicago area and would love someone who has been through this, to join up with me and walk this journey with me! :) Let me know if you are out there!

I will be happy to talk to you. I am older (50) and my boy is grown up but I do have grandbabies that I keep and pickup from school plus work a job so I know about busy. I am 2 years out and have had no problems really at all. Feel free to e-mail me if you want to talk it is easier to get me through my work e-mail crodriguez17@comcast.net. If you prefer to talk with someone closer to your age not to worry it will not hurt my feelings. I sure soon many people will want to talk too..

      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!
