The First Day of my New Life!!!!



Recommended Posts

Greetings,

This Friday will begin my new life. These last three weeks seem to be an Atkins blur. I cant believe how strict I have been. I wish that I had confidance that I could stay on Atkins and loose 120 pounds. But truthfully I would be kidding myself. The band is the help that I need and deserve after years of failure. I am ready for the assistance. The house is stocked with Soup and pops and hard candy. My parents although divorced have flown in for support. YIKES

LOL.

Thank you all for being so supportive and full of the information that I needed. I look forward to talking to you

as a full fledged bandster.

Thanks everyone, I am very excited and cant wait to get back and recoup.

My Dr. is Grossbard. He has been banded himself, which is nice, he can relate.

Rachel, you've been gearing up for this day for a long time! You have a wonderful life waiting for you...happier, healthier. Sending prayers for a non-eventful surgery and rapid recovery. Please let us know how you're doing when you feel up to it.

P. S. Do you think there might be a "rekindling of the flame" between your Mom and Dad? That's really sweet that they put their differences aside for you!

NO WAY, LOL, they are very nice to each other but much better apart. They each remarried years ago.. HEHE Angus, my husband said "are you going to get them a rooms with an ajoining door." Smart Ass.

Just curious, do you live in the Z-hills area? I noticed that you said Grossbard is doing your surgery. Is that going to be at the D.C. hospital? I live in D.C. and have been to one of his seminars.

      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!
