Hi there!!

I am fairly new to the site and it's taken me til now to find there was an age specific area. I just turned 50, 10 days ago so I guess I qualify! I am due to have surgery on the 12th of June but I find out on Monday if it is going to get moved up to the 5th or 6th. Very anxious to get to know everyone here. It still feels strange to say I'm in my 50's, does every generation go faster or is it my imagination? The 40's seem like they went by way too fast

I don't know what happened to my earlier reply, but I'm in Pueblo Colorado, just starting out in this whole process! I'm being banded at Penrose in colorado Springs. It is exciting, isn't it? Just to know that I will be healthy is enough for me. Of course, being Hotter is a great by-product! LOL Keep in touch

      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.

      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!
