Guest Speaker At Next Mississauga Lap-Band Support Group for SWLC Patients April 16



Recommended Posts

This is a copy of the email I sent out to members of our support group for anyone who lurks on this board from our clinic:

For patients of The Surgical Weight Loss Centre in Mississauga:

Hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of Spring! rose.gif

Just an early reminder that we will be having Tammy a beloved nurse at The Surgical Weight Loss Centre come out to speak with us as our guest speaker at our next meeting on Thursday, April 16th, at 7:30 pm, (doors open at 7:00 pm.,) Sue, one of our other wonderful nurses would of joined her but unfortunately will be out of town.

I hope as many people as possible will come out to chat and ask questions of Tammy, I would appreciate if people could RSVP me up to 5 pm the day of the meeting so I can get an idea of the numbers to expect when I am configuring the room seating set up that night.

We will be continuing with our ongoing clothing exchange, so feel free to bring items that no longer fit you and look through the lovely selection of items available. coffee and other refreshments continue to be available for purchase at the hot deli food counter on the main floor.

For those who were not able to attend last month I will have available additional handouts on "Emotional Eating" I made up that was our topic last month.

Please contact me for the location info if you don't already know it.

I will be contacting Tammy with the types of questions and concerns pre-op and post-op bandsters have for her so feel free to email me anything you would like added to the list. This night will consist of a relaxed evening with Tammy open to addressing any of your queries so please come out and give and receive support!

Hope to see many new and familiar faces including those who haven't been able to attend in awhile, we miss you!

I will post an additional group reminder the week of the meeting but please circle this date on your calendar, thanks. smile_wink.gif

Regards,

Donna

Volunteer Facilitator for the Mississauga Lap-Band Peer Support Group for SWLC Patients

      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!
