Hello fellow Texas Bandsters! I hope you are all well and making the best of this cold weather by staying inside and walking on the treadmill! ;)

As some of you know, I was banded in November 2005 and to date have lost about 105 lbs. I will be having plastic surgery end of February but these are not the reasons for my post.

I was diagnosed with MS in October of last year. I am taking meds and doing fine right now. It seems to be a day to day thing. I am a member of the Nation MS Society and we are having a walk in Addison, Texas March 31st. I plan to be in this walk to help raise money for several MS program as well as research to help find a cure for MS.

I'm not sure this allowed on the board but since you guys have been my family, I want to include you. If you are interested in joining the walk or just supporting me and making a pledge, I will include my personal page for the walk. No pledge is too big or small.

Thanks for your support! :D

      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!
