Howdy Ya'll, My name is Ann. I am happily married to my DH for 16 yrs. We have 3 wonderful kids, 2 boys and one girl. I'm in Central Arkansas, just north of Little Rock. I am a department manager at Target, Conway. I was banded March 31st by Dr Rex Luttrell in Little Rock. I love spending time with my family and have become addicted to walking, hoping soon to be jogging. I am happy with my band but worry too much that something is wrong, flipped port, slippage, or tube disconnected, that type thing, But all and all I'm happy with my progress so far. The reason I chose the band was so I could lose slowly and tone as I go, but I want it now, lol. I wish you all the best and thanks for starting this thread so we can get to know everyone.

Ann

      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!
