Central Ohio Get Together - Monthly



Recommended Posts

The invitation is open to all! Whether you are pre-band, newly banded or an old band pro. Friends and family members are also welcome to join us for these meetings. The more the merrier!

Everyone is welcome!

Where: Polaris Mall food Court

When: Saturday May 8, 2010

Time: 2 p.m.

Look for us near the entrance to the Great Indoors store in the back corner seating area next to Chik-Fil-A. If we're not there look for a large group of folks sitting at several tables pushed together in the areas on either side of the Great Indoors... that's usually us :-)

Hope to see you there!

I plan on being at the mall today.

Also, anybody with extra Size 20 or so clothes - especially tops? I know one of our lapband friends who is in need of some summer things. I'd say 20 would translate to 1X or maybe 2X if its cut small.

I'm happy to share I was able to find a Blue Jackets Stinger navy T-shirt at a Goodwill Thrift in Gahanna on Hamilton Rd. & Morrison shopping center - $1.99 and it was a size L -- looked so small to me on the hangar that I couldn't believe it when it fit okay.

I'll bump this up so it doesn't get lost too far down in the list. We are still meeting 2nd Saturdays. I haven't made it in the past 2 months but others have.

Thought I'd add to this to bump it up on the list. We are still getting together in Central Ohio at the Polaris Mall monthly for in person support. We are from different hospital programs, some self pay. Now most of us are past the 2-3 year stage but we welcome newly banded or those considering as well.

      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!
