Hi Catherine,

Nice to have you join us. I'm in the Seattle area too. Hey, if you ever need an exercise buddy let me know, I've been looking for someone to exercise with. I'm getting tired of walking by myself.

Vines-

You know what my hubby says about the Eastside...It's where the beautiful people live. You know, out jogging in the morning or walking the dog before they're off to the day spa. Hope you know I'm soooo kidding. However, I do have a friend who just bought a house over there for nearly a million, and while she was decorating she told one of the painter's "don't spend too much time on this, this is not my dream house".

That's us exactly! Your DH must have seem me since i"m one of the beautiful people! well, not really, I don't jog, but I do jiggle! I don't take my poor old dog for walks any more, at this point it's more a hobble... he sometimes takes a nap on his way to the dinner bowl... In all fairness he will be 16 this year... and for a Lab that's .... beyond belief! oooh love the day spa too.

But now I'm stuck in Exile... *sigh* SE ID is nothing like the Eastside....

SallyKotz is from the Seattle area too!

Way to go Catherine, Good luck! I was banded August 24, 2005 and I'm still feeling great. I have found this web site to be a great place to visit daily. Pam

      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!
