I'm Kate. I'm 64. I thought I was the only "old lady" crazy enough to think about weight loss surgery.

I'm in the middle of all the pre- op testing. No surgery date yet. I'm looking forward to "meeting" you all. Anyone else here who had their surgery at St Peter's in Albany, NY?

I know two women that had WLS in Albany, NY, but I think both of them went to Albany MED.

How are you doing since your surgery? Do you live in the Albany area. I live in Stamford, NY and looking for a WLS friend close to home.

Hope you are healthy and happy,

Valentina

Syracuse??? Why we're practically neighbors in a upstate NY kinda way!

I used to show my poodles at the State Fair Grounds in Syracuse twice a year and I have two nephews who live in Liverpool.

It's great to have a Buddy this close. It seems that most of the folks on BP are from the south or west.

Anyway, I just wanted to say "Howdy", from The Catskills!!

      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!
