Left this on "eastside bandsters - MI" yahoo group:

I have been subscribing to your group for a while; but this is my

first time posting. I was banded on 9/24/04 by Dr. Hawasli at St.

John Hospital in Detroit. Our Support Group meets every third

Wednesday of the month. I am just curious how all support groups run

their group. Maybe we can learn something new. We had 13 people at

our meeting this week and it was a great meeting!!!

Also wanted to let you know if you didn't know already about the June

25, 2005 1st Annual Michigan "Bandstock" in Sterling Heights. It's

being organized by a few of us from the www.lapbandtalk.com website,

in case some of you go to that site. My name there is "NancySmiles"

It's an awesome website too! More details will follow as soon as we

have them We had a meeting scheduled for today but canceled due to

snow.

Take care and nice to meet all of you!

Hey Nancy-

I would love some more info on where/when your meetings are. My aunt and I are both bandsters and have talked about trying to find a support group to join. Also, where in Sterling Heights is "Bandstock" and what exactly is it?

      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!
