New And Super Excited!



Recommended Posts

Hello ^_^ I'm Jonna, and I just got approved for the lap band! My surgery is August 6th (so soon!! AHH!), and I've never had any kind of surgery before. So nervous, but SO excited!! :D

Just a little blurb about myself, I'm a psych nurse at a small census crisis stabilization unit, which I love. I also am musician (classical), have a wonderfully supportive fiance, love to spend time watching anime and reading manga, and love playing video games!

Anyone live in massachusetts?

Hi Jonna!

Congrats on your date! Your post struck me because my inspiration is also a psych nurse in MA who got banded several years ago. His name is Sean Kirby -- seanmkirby@hotmail.com. (I don't think he's on this site.) He's a great guy, loves getting to know new people, and would enjoy hearing from you (and, you probably have friends in common...)

Good luck with your surgery -- I look forward to hearing how it goes!

Alice

Happy you got green lit so fast. I have my initial appointment in August. Love me some manga, anime, (god help me, got all sorts of addicted to kdrama love stories much to my husbands dread) and my final fantasies. ::sigh:: I kinda never let my teenage guilty pleasures go. ::shrugs:: though I am an avid reader too, so it stimulates the mind. :). Nice to meet you.

      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!
