Lets send a private message to all the Victorious Valentines we haven't heard from telling them we miss them and would love for them to come visit us.

Do you think that is rude. I having that large support group to lean on.

Don't think it's rude at all. Don't think anyone would be offended when they're told that we enjoy having them around and miss them. I'm on it.

As a VV who doesn't post very often, I thought this was a good thread to say hello to fellow VVs, frequent posters and like me, very infrequent posters!

As for my band, as of today I'm down 80lbs, yay! Another 40lbs to go then TT! Hasn't been easy, a lot of frustration but I would do it all again tomorrow if I had to.

Although I don't know any of you, and I live in a different country from most of you, we're all on the same journey and I love reading about everyones ups and downs.

Keep up the good work everyone!

Sadie :smile2:

Hi Sadie...YAY is right! 60 pounds gone - that is fabulous!

And (nosy soul that I am) I really would like to know how your TT journey progresses. Have you already met with a plastic surgeon? How did you find him/her? Relative to the cost of the band, is the TT more/less/about the same?

I work with the Surgeons who put my band in and I've known the PS since he qualified. Relative to the cost of the band, is the TT more/less/about the same? The band was self pay at £7950 (british pounds). The TT is around £5000.

      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!
