Chicken'd out the first time.....



Recommended Posts

I was supposed 2b banded in 8/05. I chicken'd out for various reasons, but I am back and committed. I have made some changes in my life....quit me job as a Customer Service Rep. for a mfg. co. and I am now pursuing my dream of being an professional make-up artist and Esthetician. I am in school full time W-Sat. and I LOVE IT... I graduate July 12th my b-day!!!! It is the best decision I have ever made (besides the band of course). I have found a new surgeon, Dr. Shayani (Loyola) My first appt is May 16th at 8am. I am so excited. My insurance has changed too, I now have a medical card because I am a full time student, so I hope they will approve it. The women on the phone said it should not be a problem.

thanks for reading....

      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!
