Please help me find a mentor



Recommended Posts

I think I have the right location now. Posted to the wrong place before.

I am in need of a mentor. Someone who has been banded and has had success. I know people locally who have been banded and

have not succeeded. I can't talk with them. I need help. I didn't go through all this to fail...again and again and again.

There are a lot of successful, compliant banders on this site, so you are in the right spot. I have never "mentored" anyone before, but I have become a "buddy" with several banders. I have private message conversations with four different people, and I answer questions, offer support, and share what works for me and what doesn''t. I would be happy to buddy up with you. You can PM me. TAMMIE

I can gladly offer encouragement and support. I'm not quite a year out from my surgery, but I have learned so much here. I would have been lost without this group. I am no expert and I have not had the "normal experience" according to my surgeon, but I know what has worked for me, my band, and my body.

Feel free to private message me anytime!

Diane

      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!
