I am originaly from Texas, but recently lived in OKC for about 4 yrs, absolutely love it there. However, currently live in ANCHORAGE ALASKA. Hope to be moving back to Oklahoma in the Spring 2007. Will either be OKC or around Lawton havent decided. I am 11 months out. Would love to get involved in support group when I get back. Don't have one here in Anchorage.

I am an Okie living in Dallas now. Grew up and graduated in Broken Arrow. Wish I could get back up there, but the job market is just too good here in Dallas. I do miss the slower pace for sure.

Good to see all my neighbors are doing well. Those of you who are post-op look like you are doing great and even Sunshine who is pre-op is dropping. I didnt lose any weight on my pre-op diet. :grouphug: Not even the week I was on liquids! I am about an hour from Tulsa and 2 hours from OKC, but would be willing to drive for get-together sometime. It feels good to have people around who know what you are going through.

What a wonderful idea....maybe this summer we can plan a "get together" for all of Oklahoma bandsters.

Hey sunshine, that sounds good. Also I see you have a surgery date for January. :clap2: Cool ! Good luck and let me know how things are going. I went for my post-op appointment yesterday and doctor said I am doing great, just like I should be. I am going to get my first fill Jan 3rd. woohoo. I am so happy I did this. I'm sure you will be too.

I don't know. Any time is great for me. I don't work weekends anymore,so I am up for a drive on a weekend. Anybody know a good central location that's cool to meet?

Maybe we should meet up in Alaska, I have never been there!! OKay, well maybe not. Lets see we have OKC, Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Pauls Valley, Dallas, Muskogee.

There is also another OK thread, I vote we all start using that one, since I started this one I could just kill it. Sunshine started the other one. I think I will pop on over there to see how she is doing.

      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!
