HI Everyone :P I'm Mia... 25... and I'm hopefully going to be banded soon. I've already had my inital consultation with the surgeon, had my psych eval... I go for my surgical clearance appointment next week and hopefully I'll be getting into Rotation soon! As long as my insurance company doesn't throw any curveballs, I should hopefully be on the losers bench very shortly.

I look forward to chatting with you all :D

Hi Mia and welcome to LBT!

Whereabouts in Michigan, if you don't mind my asking? I have lived in Florida since I was 15, but grew up in Sparta and still have a lot of relatives in Grand Rapids area.

Wow, I am very familiar with Flint. My parents have friends that have lived there forever.

Been to Rockford many a time. Used to go the Rockford bar to eat hotdogs. I never got my name on the wall, but my brothers did, lol. We used to have a cabin on Lake Mitchell up at Pontiac.

I actually live in Holly... home of the Michigan Renissance (sp?) Festival... I'm actually looking forward to going this year. I want to get dressed up, but I definitely want to wait before I spend all of that money on something that won't fit next year :)

Nice to "meet" you both :confused:

      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!
