Recommended Posts

Froggi- Congrats on the weight loss! That's awesome!

Elizabeth- I know what you mean about the ice cream! I picked up some in the store yesterday, carried it around for awhile and then put it back. :Dancing_sorry: It was so hard!!!

Dr. Kaplan thinks I might have a slow leak in my port. I talked with Jeannie today and I'm scheduled for Monday to have my fill amount rechecked/added/etc. My restriction is getting less and less everyday. I'll let you all know what happens.

I think I figured out my problem with wanting sweets. Even though I dont have periods anymore, I think I have pms lol.. what do you all do for it?? I havent had it for a LONG time. But I decided because I could cry so easily, I want nothing but sweets right now and just have the munchies.. So what do you do for it now with the band?? Man of course Im going through all this right before I go for a fill lol, I hope I dont get bloated. lol

Oh Kyla I sure hope you dont have a leak. If you do, would you have to go through the whole surgery again? Ive suddenly lost my restriction. One day I couldnt eat, now I can eat anything and EVERYTHING. I can even eat bread again and I havent been able to eat bread for a couple months. I hope that doesnt mean anything.. I sure hope it is all ok with you Kyla. I guess I will see you Monday. I will be there at 12:15

Froggi, you should stick around after your appointment and we can all meet

My appointment's at 12:30, so I'll probably miss you, Froggi. :Dancing_sorry: But, I'm sure I'll see you, Elizabeth!

Jeannie said that if my port is leaking that they will just replace the port in Same Day surgery. They won't touch my band. I hope that's not the case!

Yep Im sure I will see you Kyla.. If that is the case with your port, that isnt as bad as the band leaking. I know someone who has already had to have her port revised. I think she is the first and only one so far. Hers flipped over though and they couldnt get it to flip back. Support group is next monday right?? the 24th? Thats the first day of finals, that gonna be a fun day lol.:Dancing_sorry:

I've already met Kyla though...she's the only one lol Due to her coming here to my house to bring me Protein powder :Dancing_sorry:

The only way i can stand either the vanilla or chocolate is to mix it with about 3 handfuls of small ice cubes...it makes it tolerable. Lol

      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!
