Thanks for all your support this year, particularly after I had my stroke. At this point, I'm in rehab relearniing everything from washing to20kilos, cooking and sitting on a chair - I've gone back to baby days. I'm pleased to say that I have now lost 20kilos, but wouldn't suggest that anyone have a stroke - it changes your life for the better, it changes your life forever - not for the better. I'm still here and winning my battle. I Haven't had a fill yet, but don't feel hungry ever! I haven't PB'd - thanks to the nurses who dob on me for doing the wrong thing. I had my first real belch in 2 months today. it was long but came out in small amounts!

I don't regret my band after having a stroke post-op. it could have happened anyway, given my dud blood genes.

Cheers,

Jen

Great to hear from you Jen. I went through this with my brother so I know exactly what you're going through. He had to relearn eveything as well. Good luck on getting well and keep us posted.

I'm glad to hear from you. I was wondering about you and have sent you a private email since I didn't see you around. I was banded one day before you and was used to seeing your posts and then you weren't around. I had no idea you had a stroke. It sounds like your doing well and I wish you all the best. Keep up the good work and my thoughts are with you for a speedy recovery.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
