Hi ercole,

I'm from Texas too - DFW area - are you coming this way to have your surgery? What doctor are you using? I have one more seminar tomorrow and then I'm going to decide between 2 that I have been thinking about. I'm scared too but really excited as well to finally have some real help to getting a grip on my bad eating habits.

Keep in touch,

Alison

Hey, that's great - I'm in Mansfield. Do you ever get together with any other bandsters? I've been talking to a girl in Fort Worth about maybe getting a group together, what do you think?

Just want to say hi and introduce myself. It's been 11 days post surgery. I'm good, recovery wasn't bad. I can't wait to have solid foods again. I feel good knowing I can see my collar bone, and my stomach going down. Anyway, be excited it's a new beginning.

How about once a month and we can alternate where we go since everyone lives in different places? Should we just throw some dates out and see what happens?

Once a month is good, and we could meet at different places like bookstores, coffee houses but I am open to other suggestions. Weekends or Week nights?

Hi! I could use a friend and be a friend also! I am 2 months post op with 1 fill down and the 2nd scheduled for July 21st. I live just north of Tampa, Fl with my hubby, 2 beagles and a cat!

I have been reading a lot on this site, it seems like we do have a lot of support here! Which is nice since the support group I go to only meets once a month!

I wish everyone well on our journey!!!!!

I have heard "One can never have to many friends" I guess this is true huh. You didn't sound to elementary, now if you have put check yes or no, that really would have been elementary. lol I'm soon to be banded myself and looking for some online friends to chat with about it. I'd love to chat with you, just give me a hollar. I think my email address is on here somewhere.

      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!
