I am in almost as far west as you can get. Franklin.

No I haven't been banded yet. I basically have my first appointment with the "team" on the 30th. I've done all the pre- stuff. But they make you go through 4-6 months of appointments etc etc.

You?

First of all I think it is very difficult to navigate around this site, do you have a Facebook? If you do add me as a friend - my name is Mary Bailey, I live in Morganton, NC, and I am a Lees McRae student, mother of 2. If you do add me I will go ahead and tell you not many people know I am looking into this, so... if we communicate about this topic we can do it through messages instead of comments.

Anyway, I haven't actually had the surgery or even met with the surgeon yet, I basically just figured out where I will be doing it, at the Hickory Surgical clinic, and now I am waiting for my packet of info... I will be attending one of the seminars this Monday, so... where will you be having your surgery?

Well if you do have facebook go ahead and add me, if you don't mind, and we can communicate that way for now. This site is so confusing.:lol: It's nice to have someone to talk to about this.

      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!
