Hi, My name is Tawnia and I'm from Olympia, Wahington. I had my band done on May 28, 2004. I have lost 19lbs and feel great. I have 4 friends (they are all sisters) that have all had had it done also the first one is 6 weeks out and the last is 2 weeks out. It is nice having them as a support group but I would like to meet others also. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all

Thanks for your posting. I think this is going to be great. I guess I could have told you more about myself. I'm 35, married with 2 wonderful boys 16 and 13. Also 2 dogs otis and Jaxxon. I'm a cost accountant for a developer builder. Have a great night. I'm getting ready to eat my fish for dinner. I'm still trying to adjust to this whole new eating plan. I have always over ate and it is really hard to break the habit.

We are very close, I am in Castle Rock WA. I would love to meet up with you someday.

Where did you have surgery and who does your follow up care. I had mine done in Mexico by Dr. Lopez. I am looking for a good fill Dr. and follow up care close to home.

      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!
