Wow so glad I started this topic. . It is funny cause since i have been banded about another 5 staff at diffrent sites i work at have come out of the woodwork and have bands too. It is pretty cool to help people and the band helps us.

I'm a nurse, have been for 37 years. Background is critical care and emergency nursing. Taught staff development for many years, and now edit textbooks for student nurses.

There's a special forum for nurses on the OH site, but you have to hunt to find it, so it's not very active.

I'm currently an MA planning on getting my RN. I currently go to school on Saturdays to get some of my pre-reqs out of the way. I work for a group of spine surgeons in DFW.

How many of us are Nurses? I know I am not the only one.

Hah I remember chatting with you about this yesterday :)

      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!
