Is There Anyone From Michigan On Here?



Recommended Posts

If there is anyone from Michigan on this site I would like to share a piece of information with you. On september 22nd there will be a walk for Obesity at potters park zoo in Lansing MI. There is a registration fee but I am not sure how much yet and what time it starts. If anyone that lives close to lansing would like to come please private message me and I can get you more info when I know. This walk for obesity actually gives the proceeds to patients who are overweight and don't have insurance and cannot afford the surgery. Its amazing what they are doing! :)

I'm in Chicago. Lansing isn't that far and I'd love to do it. I feel for people whom can't afford it or don't have insurance. I'm blessed to have a public service employed husband who has phenomenal insurance. I didn't even have a copay. Not one red cent for NY surgery. Even got my Vitamins covered!

      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!
