PJTP-

Some of you may be aware that back during the summer I was asked to take part in my clinics ad campaign for the month of Oct. concerning WLS and Lap Band in particular. This campaign was between Park Nicollet Clinic, WCCO-TV, the Mpls Star Tribune and the state of MN called Stay Healthy MN. I ended up being in a couple tv spots that ran all of Oct and a couple ads in the paper. Also, they did a poster of me and family for their clinics all over the state.

Well, I got an email from them saying they want to do a mass mailing to about 160,000 addresses and want new pics of me and family for it. Of course, I said I would. Haven't hidden this surgery from anyone and want to help educate.

Just thought I would share again.

That is awesome! You are going to be FAMOUS!! _bright_star__by_dutchie17.gif

Thanks everyone for the kind words. It's kind of nice to have your clinic use you as one of their main success stories.

DD didn't get Wall E somehow for Christmas. Everyone must have figured she would get it from someone else. Instead, she got something called "The Last Unicorn". She must have watched it about 10 times last weekend.

LJM - it was meeeee re: Leverage! Doesn't it rock?!? Glad you love it too! :biggrin:

So I couldn't even get down mashed potatoes at lunch today so I called the surgeon's office. (tho I did get down a container of vanilla yogurt) He said to stay on liquids 24-48 more hours. Pain with mashed potatoes was disconcerting!

Although I don't want to be so restricted that I can't drink, it would be nice to feel some real restriction. I still don't have that. I am going in for a 4th fill on the 19th.

Holy crap, LJM, you scared the bejeebers out of me on Facebook. I thought you meant you had gone into early labor! I was freaking out.

It's definitely different! I've had a pain in my left shoulder today and a pain last night around my shoulder blade. I'm wondering if they are related to the major restriction?!? :tongue2:

      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!
