hi Joy! thanks for responding. I would love to chat with you. I was banded last may, but my success hasn't been that great. I don't really like my doctors and I feel a little disconnected. I've lost 50lbs since may. I have a lot more to go... How about you? Any tricks or tips. Any problems? I live in San Diego. I'm 26. recently single, lesbian. Love to hear from you!

Hey!!! if kimma081982 is your birthdate, we are almost exactly a year apart!!! 081381!!!~ Leo too! I am in cold and snowy michigan! I would love to live where you are... ahhhhhh... but I would miss my 4 seasons very much too, I guess... recently single? breakup? on top of everything else you are going through.... I am definately here to listen... I was banded 9/30/08... sorry if I already said that... progress for me has been good, I guess... really want to make this work... 55 lbs down, almost half way there! Tips??? I weigh myself ONLY once a week... I do it in the morning and at night to get the most accurate weight... more than that and I play an exceptional numbers game that makes me go MAD, exercise, exercise, exercise (which has never been consistant for me, but I am getting there), Protein first... low carb when I can... although don't ask me what I had for lunch today... naughty!!! Hmmmm... find a surgeon you like??? Mine is rush rush, but the RN that runs the joint is a lot more thorough... problems??? Port pain comes and goes... gas pains are a B$T$H!!! and my second fill was rough... wont get one for a while... next appt is for Feb 9th... I think that I am gonna decline a fill this time, for now.... MISS my BREADS and pastas....

OK I will shut up now.... how about you dear?

hi Joy.

My surgen is very rushed too. He barely says hello. But his RN is really great. This must be true of a lot of them. I have had three fills and I still feel like i need another. The nurse had said that it sometimes takes a year to find the perfect fill amount. Others get two fills and they never have to change it. I have been getting in the excercise and have started running! I used to only walk. I am also obsessed with ab workouts... sometihing about the burn! As far as eating goes... I have a really hard time. Sometimes I can hardly hold down one bite of food and sometimes I can eat what seems to be too much. I wish it was more consistent... I still think I have more learning to do about what my body is telling me. Anyways... enough about me :)

How's your cold day! heheh j/k. I think you mentioned you were married? Any kids? How about your hubby... Is he dieting with you?

I am a leo too! August 16th, same as Madonna!

      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!
