@@Ruby Woo Do you know the Playa Vista Option class schedule? or is there a website where we can see the class schedule? In order for me to arrange child care and etc, I would like heads up on when the classes are held.

If anybody had their options classes at Playa vista Location, I would appreciate any info!! Thanks!!

I am 7 weeks out from my surgery. I had a very difficult time in Stage 2 or puréed foods. Take your time progressing and be sure to drink lots of Water and Protein. If something doesn't seem to settle, try something else. Also, be sure to start out taking the Nexium the prescribe to you - it helps so much. I'm open for questions should you have any. Good luck to you!

@doctordilly. We are only going to be a day apart! I can honestly say I am equal parts excited and scared. I start pre op next week and I think i am ready to get this ball rolling! I am sick and tired of carrying all this weight around on my bad hip. Hopefully as I lose my bad hip will not be my bad hip any longer! And ohhhh the shopping that is going to be going on this time next year!!!!! Good luck to you and get ready cuz here we go!!!

@@feedee thank you so much for offering to answer questions. I feel that I have asked every question I possibly could but I know more will creep up and knowing there is someone close to my start date to ask is very comforting! I hope each day only gets easier for you and I just know you are going to rock this journey!

Bring your own pillow and maybe a warm blanket. Those were two things I wished I would have brought. ???? Also, make sure someone is with you the entire time. You will need the support. One more thing - I took Gas X strips with me to help push out all the air they put in your tummy. It helped so much.

      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!
